Hi Strava, my activity yesterday was recorded incorrectly. It's showing the wrong distance, incorrect paces, and obviously incorrect PRs. I ran 9k but it says I ran 39k!! at a pace faster than the best in the world 🤦🏽‍♀️. This is messing up all my training data. Is there a way to fix this?"

 

I've been using Strava for years, and recently I've been using the app for my runs because my watch isn't working properly. For the last few days, I've noticed that the distances in the app are always shorter than what I actually run. It seems very strange that it's giving me these numbers, especially since my profile shows my current pace is around 7 😅. Look the map, thats a small park 😁 .

 

I'm really embarrassed that they think I was in a car.

Hi ​@Ker,

without knowing any details about your activity - most likely there was bad gps signal, the following article explains what might have caused this & how to fix it: https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216917707-Bad-GPS-Data

If it doesn't answer your question, it would help if you could post a link to your run here, perhaps someone will be able to see what went wrong.
