SA and Strava show different training time + some rounds pace deviation

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

If you pause Strava respects your time.

If you don’t it will do magic. It’s in their support specs.

Tip: do a 1s fake pause and voila problem solved

I hate when Strava does it’s magic…the other day I did a run and it scraped nearly seven minutes in a 1h 17 minutes run without stops… and I checked the map to try to find any issue and I couldn’t find any error on the contrary it was a really nice track on the map,…

@cosmecosta it has speed thresholds.

Well could be but that day the thresholds weren’t working because I did nearly 15 km with nearly 370 m of positive ascent at a real pace of 5.13 min/min, I’m not a Pro but I think it is pretty decent. With Strava magic my pace would have been 4.45 min/km, If I trust strava maybe I need to start asking Suunto and Salomon for some sponsorship.

@cosmecosta good point. If you use QS what moving time do you get there? I have also kinda the same concept

With QS I get the same than with SA…And with my last two runs Strava an SA match in time and pace, I guess Strava also has its bad days .
The strava magic is even more hateful when you are in big mountains and with quite big climbs/uphills. There you need to mark the move as a race to have exactly the real time and pace.

@cosmecosta you know how to force it to not do it ?

Just make a very quick pause.

Yeah I read your previous post, the thing is that I usually do not have this problem, only from time to time…Not big deal anyway

@cosmecosta roger dat

[hermionet]

ha - i did a cycle at the weekend - 6h15 in Suunto app; 1h 45 according to Strava! Now THAT is a serious discrepancy. But Suunto GPS also messed up, cutting off 15km from a 102km ride, visible on the map through skipped switchbacks etc.

@hermionet Sounds like you were in Endurance mode, not Performance.

[hermionet]

@Brad_Olwin Ha! that might explain it… perhaps! i’ll double check next time…
