Personal Bests

Hi there. I am new to Garmin Connect and have just started out so apologies for the noob question. How does my personal bests register. I have done a number of runs around the 3 mile mark however my 5km pb never updates. The only one that has updated thus far is the longest run. Apologies again for the rubbish question. Any advice would be appreciated.
  • On the activities page (in the old style garmin connect) if you select an activity then it offers you the option to Assign PR and you can select that session as a personal best and assign it to any of the PB categories regardless of how long the session is.

    if the session is the fastest run for any of the distances (within a certain level of error - not sure what the parameters are) then the dashboard will ask you if you want to set this as a PR.

    Could it be simply you are not quite running far enough. Isn't 5km 3.1 miles. On my 220 as long as I go a little further it will update the 5km if it is quicker.
