You often see this on Strava KOMs for running. There'll be someone out for a saunter, but weirdly in the middle their pace will go bonkers, so someone running 9 min miles, randomly gets a KOM over a stretch where the phone thinks they were doing 4 min mile pace. If that makes any sense.
Annoyingly, my 10k pb was set in Amsterdam, doing 3 laps of Vondelpark, including the 500m ramp into the park. Measuring this now it was actually 10.3km, which means that my time of 42 mins, would actually be 40:48. Cycling everywhere, and running an almost perfectly flat course obviously helps, I just wish I had a more reliable record of it, as it's astronomically faster than what I run now (6 minutes faster than my current 10km pb according to strava, although I've never tried a proper 10km since).
