This started a few weeks ago when I was overseas in Zambia for work. Problem persisting now that I am in the US. To give an example, this morning, pretty much first thing I did, I went for a run which was less than 5 miles. I started and stopped the run. However, cumulative total distance was over 6.5 miles which was impossible. I tried restarting the device but this did not correct the problem. Nothing else in my routines has changed. I look for previous fixes and it says to change setting to non-dominant. Why now after a year of using it does it start doing this? Makes no sense to me.
