Apple Watch outdoor run vs MapMyRun

Wondering if anyone else is having issues with the Apple workout app outdoor running distances and MapMyRun distances (both when starting MapMyRun on my watch and my phone) having huge discrepancies? In addition the paces are always way off as well. Any tips?

Hi, unfortunately I have already tried all of the things in your links. I have re calibrated twice now with no luck as well.


Today I just went out for a run and MapMyRun on my watch read 2.00mi, 9'52" pace where as the workout app on outdoor run mode read 1.76mi, 11'10" pace. Using a third party map, and plotting the path I took the distance was 1.98mi.
