According to my Zombie Run! tracker.... yeaaaahhhh-no. Obviously this is wrong (or I'm severely underestimating my physical abilities) Does anybody have a solution for this? I find it to be very annoying. 1st world problems, but still...

    Start claiming world records?

    Sorry I have no advice, but that is pretty funny.

    When I finished the first run I looked down at my phone and felt... disappointment.. you'd think I'd be happy to have beaten the land speed record..

    I think you have your stride set as really long. My distance was way off when I first used it, I think that was it. I switched it to use gps.

    Did you miss a decimal point? ;)

    That, and you gotta be careful of them zombies. They'll run you into the ground.

    ZR always seemed a bit off for me - not quite THAT off - so I use it for the story, and Runkeeper separately for the GPS.

    Under "Run Tracking" do you have gps checked and not step counter?

    I have tried using the gps, It says a little less... like 15 in 34, but yeah, I've checked it... maybe I'll look into the "runkeeper" app

    When my phone gets hot (when I wear it in a pocket on my back hip, which is a hot spot on my body), the GPS goes all wonky and shows me covering a much longer distance during my runs or walks because it adds lots of phantom zigs and zags.

    So I'm saying take a look at the nav map for your run and see if it's real zig-zaggy. If so, it's probably not the app but the GPS on your phone that's misbehaving, and your best first step is to find a different way to carry your phone (somewhere cooler on your body, maybe an armband if that's not what you're already doing, but definitely away from your torso if you're having GPS performance problems).
