Apple Watch not tracking distance accurately

My Apple Watch has started not tracking distances accurately. I first noticed it doing parkrun every week which is approx 5k but but my Apple Watch tracks significantly less than this. I have started checking on walks now too and it is always less than when I measure the walk another way. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 8
