My run today was hijacked with someone else's activity in a different place!

I noticed that my run data was wacky when it said I had reach mile 4 only about 1.25 miles out, not to mention that it said I'd done 4 min miles I had to stop the workout and start annew one . The 2nd try seems to have track my miles/time correctly. When I look at it closer- the data on the wrong one is from a completely different place. Can someone tell me what allows this type of inaccuracy?

Which device do you have? There was a problem starting on January 1st that has been resolved for the most part...
