Personal Records displaying incorrect information

Yesterday I managed to break my 40km record on a few laps with total ride distance of 40.31km. The Personal Record page is showing my 40km new record as 1:08:39 - this is not correct. 1:08:39 is the total ride time for 40.31km. My time for 40km is approximately 1:08:09 using the selectivity function in TrainingPeaks (I say approximate as it's rounded to one decimal place). Has anyone come across this before or know how to resolve it? thanks

Records' distances have some tolerance, it works as designed, can be useful for organized races where GPS distance may differ.

If you want exact distance:
- end activity at it,
- or keep activity recording…

The PR's are editable, so just click on the number and adjust it as needed, if it was not detected correctly

If you want exact distance:

end activity at it,
or keep activity recording, if activity has noticeably longer distance, then a record will be cut exact,
or as mentioned above, edit a record.

Thanks for the replies, think I'll just add on a couple of km cool down next time, then as per reply, it will automatically extract the fastest 40km.

Yes, for example if you run a Half Marathon 21.1km, then you get from it exact records for 1km, 1mi, 5km, 10km.

But I don't know exact tolerance in kilometers for each distance, so somebody would need to check how much longer a distance must be.
