Clock stopped - add distance

Post by labellels »

Hi everyone and thanks in advance for your time/help,


I forgot to restart my watch after a pause. I lost about 200 meters. When I correct the dots and export the file, Strava shows the whole activity as if the distance was corrected (meaning it adds all the distance covered every time the clock was stopped.

Is there any way to prevent that? The file is attached if this can help looking into it.

Thank you!

Maybe this FAQ will help?

Sometimes Strava will recalculate distance and stopped time for TCX files. Strava ALWAYS recalculates for GPX. Often, Strava respects the information in FIT files, however it depends on if you tag your activity as a “race” or not. Also, for elevation calculations, Strava will recalculate unless you specify a barometric GPS device.
