Hi, so me and my friend ran a race together today!
For context... we were arm to arm the full race except split off at the last 500m, (this doesn't affect the problem). The race itself was 13.1km in total, we ran 2km warmup together then did 10km PB race together again arm to arm, then went into a 1km cool down (this is where I ran ahead for the last 500m), so the pb should be near identical...
my Strava PB (tracked by iPhone 17pro max) 46:40

my friends PB (tracked by garmin forerunner 165) 47:53

To confuse the situation even more I also tracked it on my Apple Watch (activities app) incase Strava didn't work etc (insurance) and it says our fastest 10km segment was 50:09...
im not complaining at mine (46:40) 😂 BUT I would prefer to know which is more accurate recording? I even went onto Strava website and did distance corrector to see if it was that but no change...
