I had my first half marathon today, and I broke PR, but on Strava, it only calculated 21.09 after having tried the “Correct Distance” option. I have seen that this is not an uncommon problem for people missing a 0.1km recording. If there is a way any can help me I would appreciate it! I am trying to at least have a record of my PR

Ciao ​@srosas19. I know how can be frustrating but as you can see in the article below you can face it several time because of the Strava politics about this. You can anyway record more meters to be sure to avoid the round down.

Thank you for the reply and explanation! So, pretty much for this run, I won’t be able to edit and log my PR that I achieved? 


@srosas19 - I believe you could choose to delete this activity (or just make it set to private) and then create a new “manual entry” with the distance you want and time associated.  I think it will still show up as a PR but I am not 100% sure of that.  You could always try to add the manual entry and see if that does trigger the PR before deleting anything just in case.


I’m afraid manual activities don't count for “best efforts”. However, Strava has two ways to track this - best efforts (which is calculated automatically from the activity), but also “All-time PRs” which can be added manually. Personally I’m using both as the “best efforts” are usually a bit more optimistic than the official chip time, because of all the extra steps done when dodging other runners etc 🙂 So - ​@srosas19  can add the chip time to the PRs manually, but it won't be displayed among the “best efforts”.
