Workout Fastest Half Marathon Time faster than workout time

I ran a half marathon on Sunday. I finished in 1:46 yet my ‘fastest half marathon’ time award is 6 mins faster. Why would this be the case? I’m very confused why the times don’t match up closer. Any advice appreciated



Apple Watch Ultra, watchOS 10

Hey DaveKingman,


We recommend that you calibrate your Apple Watch to improve the accuracy. Here's how:

Calibrate your Apple Watch

1. While wearing your Apple Watch, go to a flat, open outdoor area that offers good GPS reception and clear skies.
2. If you have Apple Watch Series 2 or later, you just need your Apple Watch.* If you have Apple Watch Series 1 or earlier, bring your iPhone for GPS. Hold your iPhone in your hand, or wear it on an armband or waistband.
3. Open the Workout app, then tap Outdoor Walk or Outdoor Run. To set a goal before starting, tap the ... icon.
Outdoor Walk workout on watch with white band.
4. Walk or run at your normal pace for about 20 minutes.


Let us know if this helps!


Best regards.
