Query over Personal Record

Former Member over 11 years ago

Hi,

On 8th March 2014 I ran 21.45km in a time of 1:54:43. On 23rd March I ran 21.28km in a time of 1:53:28.

The latter time appears (due to a km by km comparison, average time etc.) to be faster. Both qualify as a half-marathon, and yet Garmin does not recognise the latter time as faster (and hence a new personal record for the half-marathon).

Why would this be the case?

Thanks

That might be how it's supposed to work, but I don't think that's really the way to do it. For example, my fastest 1 mile time should be, well, the fastest I've ever run a mile. I am *never* going to…

What is the recorded distance for the last ride vs the recorded distance for other rides where Garmin Connect has correctly detected the personal record? If the previous rides were closer to 40K than the most recent ride, that would indicate that the most recent ride was beyond the threshold that Garmin chose to use. i.e., 24.95mi is close enough to 40K, but 24.96mi is not.

Garmin Connect - Personal Record Assignment

I am using fenix 2 and I had a tough workout yesterday (for me):

Mile Repeats: 7 miles w/3x1 mile @ 8:20

1 mile worm up
3x (1 mile @8:20 + 0.5 recovery)
1 mile cool down

I am not the fastest runner, but I was happy to have run one mile @8:12 :cool: and I was expecting both my 1k and 1mile records to be updated...
Hasn't happened...

I tried to manually replace my existing 1 mi personal record (PR).From the Trophy Case

Sorry. We did not find any results from your search. Try again.

From the activity itself
I click the "Trophy" icon... but it is asking me if I want to replace:

1h09m33s

I just find odd that I have to run only 1 mile to have a PR assigned... :(
It seems that I am not the only one and I would love an update from Garmin, as I love their products!

If you would like additional information, here is a thread I find useful:
