I recorded a hike on my Garmin Etrex with an elapsed time of 4:12:51 and moving time of 3:54:26. When it loaded to Strava the elapsed time showed as 4:12:46 which is fine but the moving time came up as 00:00:59 giving a pace of 11s/mile. A new world record! Any ideas why Strava would not pick up the correct stats from Garmin?

Hello @alif18
Thanks for posting about this. We calculate your moving time based on your activity's GPS locations, distance, and speed. A very inaccurate moving time is often the result of erroneous GPS data, or a GPS recording where there are big gaps between the recorded GPS points. I recommend checking your Garmin GPS device to see if there's an option to increase the sampling rate of your GPS. That may help for future recordings.

Hi, this happened to me today on the trails - my actual moving time was 4:08 but Strava only recognised 3:20. Would this effect my overall distance? And with what you have suggested above how does that affect battery life? I’m about to do an Ultra that will take about 8-9 hours?
thanks
