Update personal record in the app
-
I would love to know, of course from those with experience - how long does it take for a personal record to be updated in the app - there are personal tags which is very nice and below that personal records
Thanks to all the helpers

@Danny-poleg personal records implementation is currently poor since it doesn’t take fastest subsegments of activities, so it may be related to that. Only takes into account total activity pace.

Any updates on this? Just ran a faster than previous 10k, with nothing updating.

The app page should consider using segments for all stats or at least have it as an own metric. Scenario fastest 10k also includes fastest 5k so logically 5k record should also be updated.

This is how it worked in Movescount

Small question
Following GPS glitches, one of my workouts showed me that I ran 400 km in the workout. The error was saved and affected the tags I receive in the app.
Is there a way to reset the tag data or change something that will affect the tags? -

I wouldn’t call that poor. i would call that correct. A pr on 5k you set in a 5k race, and not als part of a 10k. If you happen to run a 5k stretch during a 10k faster than ever that means you can do even faster in a 5k race.
Being able to dismiss “records” due to gps glitches (or people forgot to and their activity when they get in their car to drive home) is a more desirable function. Strava is also missing this option.
-
@Danny-poleg good question, would also appreciate a workaround
-
@elbee I am with you on this one. I like Suunto’s implementation. It is closer to actual race PR’s than mathematical GPS based ones. It is kind of refreshing, since it is different approach than Strava cult. Is it perfect? No, I do not think so, but like the idea.
-
@aiv4r @elbee Yeah, even though I would advocate to also include segments (fun stats to have) on the page as its own metric, I would be fine with how it is now if it actually updates

Because now it is kind of flawed, here is an example:
I participated at a 10km race, clocked in at 44:48 (official result time).
The clock logs 9,65km at 44:59, which is ok (either the race track was not exact or the gps struggled in the urban environment but actually both).
Now this did not update the 10 km personal best (which can be discussed if it should have).
The distance was off by 3.5% and did not get registered.However, for other activities like the personal best for the half marathon it displays an activity that clocked in at 20 km and not 21 km. So the distance was off by 5.2% and still got registered.
So the threshold appears to be set differently (tighter tolerance for shorter distances), That is why segments make sense as such a threshold would not be needed for anything that is over the desired distance of interest and the distance/time would be right.
Then when I manually set the 9,65km to 10km it got registered as a personal best. But the run yesterday that clocked in at exactly 10.0 km did not update.

-
@aiv4r besides that my current halfmarathon record is set to an activity that has been just a bit longer than 20km, what is clearly a bug, I really like the Garmin approach. First of all, you can accept the last detected record or decline it and for each of the records it will show the history of the record, so you can see your development over time.
-
@2b2bff yea ok, I agree that there is too many errors in a way how it is done at the moment. Maybe confirmation would solve it, but in that case it is not as low key as one would like
personally do not care much about seeing progression there, since it can be quickly seen other places, like statistics or using tags. -
@aiv4r no worries. I think the current way is not bad at all. It just need to be consistent.
Having a 5km run as PB for 5k - great,
Having a 10.xkm run as PB for 10k instead of the 9.95km race I did last time - accepted
Having a 20.4km run as PB for the half marathon - what?And nothing I can do to decline that half marathon PB and go back to the one before… support hasn’t been that helpful with that, yet…
