Edge 530- Average speed and activity timer is off.

over 1 year ago

The average speed on my brand new edge 530 is showing at least 5kph higher than in reality. 

I also noticed that the speed is correct during the activity but the duration seems to be off. Strava trims the file to put in a realistic average speed though so i assume the correct data is there but just sometime is off.  

I assume there is an easy fix? All help appreciated. 

File here (i think)

    The time metrics in your connect activity file indicate that auto pause was used during the ride, so the average speed (27km/h) is based on your moving time.

    Elapsed time is the time between pressing start and stop and isn’t used for the average speed calculation, which would be about 22.2km/h.

    If you want the true average, turn off auto pause but you can retrieve the moving average from Connect afterwards.
