Hi all, 

I started running about 6 weeks ago (just completed week 6 of C25K).

When I started running I was using a fitbit, and about 4 weeks in I noticed that the maps were all over the place, zig zaging across the road and shooting off in random directions.  I have realised that this would have affected my distance ran and also my pace (I had some of my followers mention to me that my pace for starting off was really good and I thought they were just being supportive lol).

It has meant that my personal achievements and PRs are based on distances/ pace I never actually achieved.

I have since got a garmin, and my maps are noticeably more accurate, so going forward my pace and distance will be true to what I am doing.  The issue is I will now never beat the personal achievements and PRs attached to the inaccurate runs.  I don’t want to delete the activities, as they are part of my progress and C25K journey.  They are currently set to public so they sync with my fundraising page for Race for Life.

Is there a way to retrospectively edit the activities I want to go towards my personal achievements? So I can start them from the date I started using the garmin?  Or edit out the ones that are clearly inaccurate and keep the ones which are (my local park run is on a straight road and they look to have tracked accurately).

TIA

Hi ​@KAF,

have you tried to use the “correct distance” functionality? Test it on a couple of those inaccurate activities (you can revert it back if you're not happy with the result), just note, it's only on the web version, not in the mobile app:

Also, if you're a subscriber, you can manage your Best Efforts in the mobile app. On your profile, scroll a bit down, tap Best Efforts, and you can browse through all available distances, showing top 3 efforts for each. If some are unrealistic, you can tap the down-arrow on the right side to expand, and then tap Exclude Effort. This won't delete the activity nor alter it in any way, but the inaccuracy won't be messing your stats anymore.
