How does it measure Best Pace?

Former Member over 11 years ago

How does your Garmin work out Best Pace? i have just done a half marathon with average miles of between 7.35 and 7.55 per mile, it's says average pace 7:43 min/mile then under that it says best pace 5:29 min/mile. I can't run that fast so does it measure it if it's only say 10 meters or so like a downhill sprint?
Thanks

I think the problem is where the watch gets a pair of GPS location updates that were further appart than where you were at those times. You may have covered 10 metres but the GPS thinks you covered 13 metres, so it will show 30% faster then you did. We think its avaraged over 5 seconds.
