Got my Forerunner 405 yesterday. The only thing I noticed was that the pace during the run seemed to fluctuate a bit and I felt like I was going faster than what it said. When I downloaded the data, the average pace was about a minute faster than what I thought it was. My only thought was that it was raining slightly which could affect the satelite signals. The GPS accuracy was showing around 20ft at the time. Is this normal for cloudy days?
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

I'll have to change the screen to use the average pace. I was using the instant pace. I knew something was wrong when it said I was slowing down under the trees.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I switched to lap pace and auto laps and had much better luck on the past couple of runs. I also decided I had too many screens setup for the auto scroll function.
