Hi all. Forerunner 255, using Garmin Connect on Android.
I always log the time for the first 5k of any run. I typically run 5-8k, sometimes more.
I can calculate the 5k time either by adding the individual times for the first 5 x 1k laps, or by taking the total time for the run and subtracting the times for the laps after 5k.
These 2 methods produce the same time, and I include all the 1/10 seconds.
The issue is when I achieve a 5k PR. This has happened a few times, notably today.
Garmin tells me I set a new PR of 00:28:01.
Calculating it by totalling the first 5 laps, or by subtracting the 6th lap, produces 00:28:03 .
It's only a couple of seconds, but when it's a PR it feels unsatisfactory.
Can anyone explain, please?
Thanks
