Inaccurate distance and pace tracking on Apple Watch starting week of March 8

When tracking an outdoor run this past week (starting on March 8), the map shows blocks of tracking missing, making the distance and pace very inaccurate. This has happened on every run this week, the map shows gray dots for blocks of distances. I have done both updates since and went through all the troubleshooting steps but it hasn’t helped. I run the same routes regularly and never had this issue in the past until this week.

Grey dots signify a weak or non existent GPS signal and this is the watch's way of filling in the gaps,are you wearing the watch snug enough on your wrist and not wearing the watch on top of any tattoos.
