Everytime I am going out running Strava is completely over estimating how far a distance I am running and therefore giving me a completely faster pace than I am actually going. Apple Watch is correct distance but Strava is adding on over a mile on runs? I believe it could be an GPS issue but I have tried everything to correct it. It’s happening on all different routes.

Hi ​@Louise.C26,

how are you recording your runs? With the Apple Workout app and syncing from Health to Strava afterwards? Or with Strava on your AW? Or Strava on your phone? Or yet another option..?

You might get some clues also by comparing the maps in the original AW recording and in Strava, to see if one of the paths is obviously incorrect, with a zigzag pattern or so.
