This was from today in the morning. I was just going around a normal oval shaped small track i think its like 1/8th of a mile per full rotation. Idk whats going on and why it did that mess. Its on the second floor of a gym maybe thats why? Is it okay for me to put my phone in my pocket while strava runs? Should i put the location to always on? I also have an apple watch so this makes it even weirder since it should be more accurate. I redownloaded the app and ill be seeing if the same issue happens again tmrw.

There’s no (or just weak) gps signal indoors, if you want to get a realistic map of your path you need to do outdoor activities.
