Ran a 8k this morning and the charge 5 said it was 6.01 miles not the 4.9 that it should be. Any suggestions on how to get accurate mileage? This is a big discrepancy and I’ll be training for a half marathon and need accurate mileage.

Hi, @SV650rider! Are you using GPS for the distance or is it calculating from stride length? I've found stride length is quite often inaccurate. I'd recommend using GPS every time if you can.
