Hi, anyone else use map my run, can someone please explain the splits to me please.
On the left-hand side it stated the kilometres divided up into each kilometre but what do the figures mean on the right hand side??
Thanks

The time it took you to run that km.

No, it can't be that as the figures don't match the time I ran the 5k.

Can you post a screenshot?

My distance times on Strava don't math the individual kms because Strava uses your fastest 5km/10km segment, not whole kms. So the fastest segment might be between 1.2 and 6.2km, in which case the km splits can be way off.

Oh hang on, you're not
querying a PB; you're saying that the figures on the right don't add up to total run time?

Does MapMyRun do grade-assisted pace corrections?

It just doesn't make sense to me!

Did you feel like your first 1 km was slower than the rest? Anything that uses GPS can sometimes deliver screwy results. I've had implausibly short and implausibly long km splits. I think your first km didn't actually take 12 mins. If you calculate kms 2-5, then take that time from your total, you end up with around 6:30 mins to account for km1. Seems more likely.

I think you are probably right.
Thankyou for your help!

No worries!

Are you adding the 5mins for the 5.01 line at the end? I think that's the problem. That would've been your mind if you had finished that km, but you didn't.
