Max Speed

My max speed stats seem to be way off.

i wear my garmin vivoactive 4 to play small sided football games in. My best pace this evening was 25.6mph. The top speed recorded by a pro at the World Cup in Qatar was 22.2mph, and I’ve got a reputation for being slow!!

anyone have any idea what is causing this? I assume the GPS but i would like to know what my actual speed is.

Are you indoors? What activity type are you using? If you are using an outdoor activity type that use the GPS indoors you will get lots of incorrect data points with incorrect speeds and distance.

If you are outdoors you can get incorrect data points logged because of bad GPS reception. Check the speed graph and check when you got that top speed. Top speed are often logged right at the start of an activity. That is likely caused by starting the activity before a good GPS position has been aquired.
