Personal Records not updating on garmin connect

Yesterday afternoon I got a PB for my 5km run, however this is not reflected in my personal best records. How can I update this?
my personal best record is showing a run I did over 2 years ago. I have beat this record at least 10 times in the past 3 weeks.

    Yup, Same here, My 5k and 10K personal records are blank, despite uploading runs over 10K.

    I'm not sure what the current state of the Personal Records feature is, but according to the documentation (click the little question mark icon near the words Personal Records on the personal records page), your activity has to be approximately equal to the PR distance. So if you ran for 7mi, Garmin Connect probably isn't going to pick the fastest 6.2 miles of that activity and check to see if that would have been a 10K PR.

    I'm having the same problem as well. I can see every PR length except 5K. It all of a sudden started showing 1K and 1 mile but the 5K time vanished. It won't let me click on the icon in the customize drop bar either.

    I just ran a new PB for the half marathon by almost four full minutes. When I synched my watch with Garmin Connect, it updated the Activities list but not the Personal Records. Now, my Personal Record is four minutes slower than another run that appears on the Activity list - doesn't make a lot of sense. Is there a way to force the Personal Records list to recognize it?

    Yes, from the Activity in GC, top right, set PR

    I'm not sure if this is exactly your issue, but you have to confirm the record manually in garmin connect. I don't know how it works in the mobile app, but on the website you'll see your old record and next to it your new record, which won't be taken into account unless you confirm it.

    I seem to have a similar issue. I have had several PR's for 5km during a 7km or 10km training run. Garmin seems to take the fastest 5km segment out of the run and use it as a PB. today I ran both a PR on a 5km and on a 10km within a 10.14km run. Neither showed as records. The only thing I can figure that might have been different from the last time was I was just in 'run' mode where today I was in run mode using a 'workout' that I had loaded onto my watch. I'm using a 645 (no music)

    Hi I have got similar issue in Garmin Connect 4.15.1 (swimming data from Garmin Instinct v2.80).
    I have been swimming few times last weeks (over 11km) and there are not any Personal Records in Connect.ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1459160.jpg

    Does your watch show you any personal records for swimming? I'm not even sure if the instict supports personal records for pool swimming.
