Evening,
I've just come home from a 14 mile walk, 7 miles there and 7 miles back at a time of 4 hours 40 minutes..

Now Garmin has recorded 2 hours 20 minutes and only a 7 Mike walk. (Half)

Can you post the fit file from your activity? That is the source of truth. Attach your Garmin to your computer via USB then. . .

Connect your Forerunner 235 to your computer using the Garmin USB cable
Open the drive associated with your device.

Look for your FIT file by date under the \GARMIN\ACTIVITY folder

Auto pause could cause this issue. Check if you got auto pause enabled for the activity type you used. Turn it off since it often cause issues.

There are two jumps in the tracking of approximately 5 km.
