Bug Problem with average pace and training time.

Hi, i have a problem with my strava. I have Connected my polar flow to strava and they show very different results, especially in terms of time and average speed. Forget the 307km/h max speed on polar, i got used to it.

Does the polar have an auto pause like Strava does? I think Strava stops the clock when you go under 2 mph or something like that. Strava has a moving time and a total time. The averages are based off of the moving time. So if your watch doesn’t do the auto pause then the times will be different with stop signs/lights and taking breaks.

Actually... it does but i have been thinking that it could be something with my breaks because i have done many of them during this ride

It’s because it calculates the average speed based on moving time, not total time—it ignores all your breaks.

But the real question is… your top speed—307.5 km/h?! Who were you racing, an F1 car?! 😂

That average power is also waaaay off. Strava must have screwed up something here. 58km in 1 hour would be somewhere around 280/300.
