Hi all, i have seen some variations on this question but not sure how to fix it.

when out running split times coming through are much faster than normal, resulting in 8.4 miles being recorded but when i get to end and save workout it shows much more accurate 6.78 miles

Using charge 2 and recording using the app.

@andy310 Welcome! It's nice to have you on board! Sorry for the delay in my reply.

 

Let me help you with your distance calculation. Your device uses the number of steps and stride length to calculate the distance. You can improve the accuracy by measuring and logging your stride length. Feel free to use these instructions to do this. Since you are using the phone's GPS then the distance gets recorded once the app stops the activity detection. 

 

Let me know how it goes.
