(this probably belongs in the Strava thread, thought I'd post it here though as it's running-related I guess)
I'm using an Apple Watch 4 with a free Strava account to track my runs and get some stats.
This works really well, though there are two bugs / glitches / whatever that happen repeatedly, and I'm wondering if there is a fix for it -
Strava / the Apple Watch is GPS-tracking my routes fine for the most part (sometimes a little bit off, but it's all within, say, a 20 meter tolerance) - what I don't understand is though: it usually does not record the first ~50m of my runs (it pretends I started two blocks further down the road - this also happened somewhere else completely, in the mountains - overall tracking was fine / close to where I actually ran, but the start was about 40-50 meters "late", the start of the run (the green dot) is just further down the road than where I actually started the run, or the green dot is correct, but the first about 50m of the run is just a straight line (like a beeline, through buildings etc.) until it properly picks up the tracking).
Can't seem to figure out why it does that. It happens not every single time, but most of the time.
The overall pace seems off (with every run I record) - meaning that Strava list the pace of the run as, say 6:00/km - but the individual paces of the kilometers are all higher, like 6:10, 6:05, 6:20 etc. - why is that?
Thanks in advance for any help!
