Fitness app reports wrong time for half marathon
Today I ran an organised half marathon in about 2 hours 5 minutes. My Apple Watch recorded a distance of 21.09 km, which is not actually a half-marathon distance by a few meters. This I don’t have a problem with, I was not expecting perfect correlation between the course stated distance and what my watch measured. The problem is that the fitness app on my phone is saying I completed a half-marathon in a time under 2 hours. The time is close to the time it took me to run the first 20k of the course.
I have seen this before on training runs, but was not absolutely certain whether the issue was distance measured or what the app was calling a half-marathon. Now I’m sure; the fitness app is calling a distance of about 20km (not 21.1) a half-marathon.
the first time I observed this was with IOs16 and watchOS 9, today I have the latest of both(17 & 10)
