Does anyone here have experience comparing the times of the Garmin race predictor for different events? I know that usually it slightly overestimates me or that I haven't been able to run the time yet, but I'm curious how the estimations compare for different distances.
Or otherwise in general, what are your thoughts on sports-watch/app generated predicted race times?
I feel that they slightly overestimate for me. Although, I'm never quite sure if the prediction is for perfect conditions on a flat route.
Another thing to keep in mind is that watches uses track further distance then the actual course. My fastest official (parkrun) 5k time is around 22:10. Garmin logged the 5k time as 21:xx as it had tracked around 5.1km. This was closer to my Garmin prediction of 21:45
