But Strava shouldn't record this as a pb, although the distance vs moving time looks fast, Strava still uses universal start/stop time for segments and pbs.
That doesn't stop people posting screengrabs of the Strava efforts with "New 5k PB!!!one!11!!eleven!!two".

Most of them are a piss take, but it all started with a few claims outed by StravaWankers on twitter.
I've ranted before about how Strava's "moving time" algorithm is provably broken, including posting full recreation steps with faked GPX files on their bug tracking site, but they just don't care.

Some nutter in my club did 36 miles in his 10m wide garden. He counted laps but strava says it's about 12 miles less. I don't know what to do with this information, other than conclude my teammate is mental.
Edit: and of course, the main take away is to take all Strava posts with a pinch of salt. My neighbour for example, seems to ride a very similar pace on the local loops, but was completely surprised to hear that I don't stop on a 40 mile ride, where as they stop quite a lot. It's a minor thing, but it's good to remember that comparing stats only shows so much.
