Wrong distance

I went for a run today at my usual 5k route, but my kilometer times seemed off for the entire run, and when I reached the end it said that I had run 4.5k. I ran another 500m to make it say 5k and measured the route afterwards online to be sure that I actually ended up having run 5.5k when the watch Said only 5k.

500m is a lot, what is going on?

Hard to say. Perhaps you started running before getting a proper GPS fix.

You should examine the route trace in Garmin Connect and see if you can see where things went off track. It might have lost GPS signal for some time and then connected the segments from the data available.

Thanks for your response. It seems like my gps never actually started. I can’t see in my connect app where I went running at all.
