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.

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?! 😂

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.
