How can it take 17 seconds to run 0.01 miles , another problem with vivoactive

RachelHyland

am not following

where did you change that ? in Garmin connect ? compared to spous's ?

the fit file and GPS clearly show 3.01mi

check the one second recording and start with a clean slate

Is it possible to look at the cycle versus run activities,  exact same route but two different distances

I tried that setting already and had same issues.,its back on smart recording now . I   Also tried the 3 different GPS settings .

guess you are not trying long enough

none of these activities are with one second recording or did I miss one 

update : no I did not miss one

no, am saying no, but I do not understand your question

go with the one second solution

Funny enough this is the only one I used the strava distance from. 

I'll set to one second recording and go from there . I  the meantime I anxiously await delivery of the forerunner 645. Now that will be interesting when I run my regular 5k route to see what it records.  Every other garmin records 3.11 miles

do me a favor

would you check the other Garmin's recording settings ?

also setup the FR645M to one second recording !

no offense but my eyes are getting heavy ... urgent recovery time needed 

success with the new challenge

happy & safe sporting

Mine too, I'm grey at this stage with this watch ! Thank you very much for your help . One second recording is set . Cheers and goodnight 

all explanations done by trux sound plausible

trux can this last track be avoided using a structured workout ?

In fact you are just losing time here, OnlyTwo, there is no problem in the FIT files. I compared, side by side, the two tracks that RachelHyland  ran together with her husband. Rachel's watch simply shows more deviations from the road they used, than the watch of her husband, despite that she used Every Second Recording in that case, and her husband just the Smart Recording. So, there is nothing to fix in the FIT files, the GPS was simply less accurate than that of her husband - you can clearly see that her GPS does not copy well the road. At least not as well as her husband's GPS.
