Inconsistent pace (even during workouts), but GPS track is OK

I'm training with Coach Greg for "Garmin Coach Half Marathon Plan" and my VA4 recently started to record and display inconsistent pace (even during workouts), but GPS track is OK. What can be the cause?

Today, for example, I needed to run 20 min at "goal pace". I did it, but it was very hard to keep a consistent pace because my watch showed wrong values as you can see from the image.

Software version: 5.80

zener79 may I have permission to access your Connect account and view some other details for this activity? Do you have any other examples of this issue with pace, or is this the only instance where you have seen this?

Yes, of course. What is your Connect username?

There are other workouts with the same issue recently. I'm not sure if it started after upgrading to v5.80 or not.

Today it was better. I ran without my bluetooth headphones. I don't know if this can be related

In the Garmin Connect website, please click on the watch icon and select Device Settings > General > Every Second Data Recording. I have also sent you an email illustrating this. You may also want to make sure you have either GPS+GLONASS or GPS+GALILEO selected as your GPS setting ion the Run activity profile.

Changing the GPS Setting

Ok, I will test this but I'm not to optimistic. Looking at Garmin website it says:

"Smart Recording does not affect the data being recorded such as pace and distance or heart rate"

I already have GPS+GLONASS
