Nord Rundeer 🦌 Dec 2024 2:38pm, 14 Dec 2024 4,794 posts	Quote Pin Nord Rundeer 🦌 Here's a picture showing 5.01 km completed, 5 laps of 1 km recorded in the text box, and 5 laps shown in the graph with laps set to 1 km.
DaveG Dec 2024 2:50pm, 14 Dec 2024 521 posts	Quote Pin DaveG If you look at the bottom of that page, it shows 0.2% was walking. That bit shows the 5k running time as being 1 second faster than the predicted 5k time. I wonder if it's counted the last step as a walk, not a run, and discounted that from the running benchmarks. If the course was counted as 4.996k and one step in the funnel was 0.004k that could explain it if the run/walk thing matters.

I’m still getting benchmarks for my run/walks as long as it’s logged under the Run category.
