Hi @jelubanski it's a pleasure to see you join our Community! 8-8:15 is a pretty good time!

 

If your weight and genre are properly set on your account the stride length would be set as a default. If you want to set a personalized Stride length I advise you to check on @Collin1000's post about Stride length measure. 

 

Also when you are on the track do you use the GPS function on the Surge or just the normal tracking?  Depending on how you are tracking your runs this could affect how the distance is being calculated.

 

I look forward to your update! Let's get those times right! 

 

See you around!
