Last week, my Fitbit app changed how far 1k is and subsequently changed my 1k average time. Last Monday and Tuesday and the preceeding at least 8 weeks, my average 1k pace was between 6 minutes 20 seconds and 6 minutes 40 seconds. Suddenly last Wednesday, my first k was further and my pace went up to 7 minutes 40 - 7 minutes 58 seconds. This is really disheartening as I was making progress. My 10k time was down to 1hr 3minites! Any ideas why this has happened?

I have also noticed a GPS issue after the last update.  It takes much longer to connect, then disconnects soon afterwards.  The notification on my phone indicates that the GPS is still connected.  This has caused my distance to be undercounted, and in turn, my pace to be slower.  You could be having the same issue.
