Race Predictor So Far Off

I’ve been running 5kms each week for about 6 weeks in about 25 mins. However my race predictor thinks my race time for a 5km is 39 mins. It’s not even close. Surely it should update when the predictor is slower than you have actually ran within the last month!

I'm seeing this now too, 5km of 48 minutes despite running 5km most days in < 30 at MHR minus 60bpm

Any ideas what is going on here?

hi Garmin-Kevin I installed the latest beta when it came out and it is having no effect on the race predictor. still says > 40 minutes for a 5km despite running 5km in 25-30 minutes at a very easy HR at least a few days a week.

Interesting. My Race Predictor says 22:09 for 5km, whereas my PB is currently 25:27. It's quite optimistic, but not beyond the bounds of credibility.
