[Closed] Strava accuracy

chrishc777 · 2014-09-07T09:57:02Z

I know alot of people don't like Strava but I like to keep track of my improvement (or absence of) on the bike. Recently I have been doing some smashing runs in the local woods which I know are alot faster than PRs but Strava has been marking them as terrible, as my PRs are mostly around the 2 minute mark and Strava marks them as 3-4 minute runs something is definetly wrong. I'm using an HTC one mini which used to track briliantly but seems to be getting pretty bad, I remember my old Samsung getting sloppy towards the end of it's life but I have a year left til I get an upgrade! Is there an external antenna or software fix for such problems?

It could be Strava actually. Not necessarily messing it up but correcting things.

Never trusted strava times after my wife beat one of my times by 4secs even though she was on the back of the tandem. Run a Garmin 810 and wife runs a 610 (watch). Results never the same despite being on the same bike. Mate of mine rode on back of tandem too and he had his IPhone running Strava, again none of the segments where the same times for us both. That was on a road ride too so not alot of tree cover etc.
