My 5 km predicted race time just dropped by over a minute. Thank you 20.26 for the improved fitness.

Ha, just noticed it as well. Marathon prediction down by 10 minutes. Easiest fitness gain I ever had.

To be fair, I think the new estimates are probably more correct than the old ones. So possibly a "bug" fix

Yes.

My reading comprehension fail here. I skimmed the change log but somehow missed it. I reckon my old predicted time was 30 secs slower than reality whereas the new time is 30 secs too optimistic. So overall, it does a pretty good prediction for me when all is said and done.
