Personal Records not working

I've noticed for a long time my personal records do not seem to update at all.
I'm pretty sure a few years back, they looked after themselves, and even calculated my best KM run for example, even if that KM was part of an overall longer run.
However it is a loooonnnnnngggggg time since it updated anything at all for me.
I have recently run a good few mile runs. I still don't have any mile time in my personal records.
I remember a long time ago, I was able to go in and set my own record, but to be honest, this is a brutal way to have to do it because it should update itself.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Apologies if I have created a thread where there are already answers but in my search I really couldn't find an answer and any similar threads are over a year old.

I'm using a forerunner410 if it makes any difference.

It makes a difference. The FR410 does not have the PR feature, which means that for Garmin Connect to detect a PR the run distance must be very close to the PR distance. So you won't get a 1 mile PR for a run that was 5 miles long.

So, if you go to https://connect.garmin.com/modern/personal-records you have some records already? And you have recently beaten one of them but GC has not done anything?

What should happen is that you get a 'do you want to replace this record with this one that is better' message.

I have no record in for 1 mile
I have recently run a good few distances of 1.6 km through to 1.64.
surely at least tmk2 one of them should have been picked up as my best mile?

there have been many other similar distances, as in runs almost exactly the correct distance

I must go for a bike ride with my edge 500. I can't remember if that picked it up its been a while since I used it

yes is the answer to your question. there are some times there, and I have beaten some of them.

I clicked on the link but don't see an option to replace this record with a better one. I also don't get prompted when I import anything through my ant+stick

In this case you need to assign the PR manually if it is not detecting and offering them automatically. From the activity in Garmin Connect Web, use the upper right cog and select Set As PR.

Interesting... didn't know of this option. It's only available for the total run distance though, not a split? Like the full 5K not a 1K split within it?

Automatic split detection is on device only. Set As PR is for full activity only.
