4 miles in 26:xx. I started off at around 8:00 pace but then decided to speed up, and slowly picked up the pace until I was running sub 6:00 pace during the last mile of the run.
Regarding the new watch: I learned today that I can't start running immediately after hitting the start button on this watch as it can take some time for the software to get started (maybe related to auto-pause since this didn't happen at the start yesterday?). I had been running for maybe 10 seconds before the watch actually started timing me. This repeated itself both times I stopped at a stoplight, as each time, auto-pause stopped the time immediately after I stopped running, but failed to start again until I had crossed the street (maybe 8-10 seconds later).
HR measurement issues popped up again as well, except today HR bpm started in the 90's (it should have been in the 130's), and then it jumped up into the 180's before finally settling at a more accurate approximation just over a mile into the run (better then yesterday I guess). Step count was off today as well, as during the last mile of my run it dropped as low as 102 steps per minute even though I was running sub 6:00 pace while chasing two people on bicycles.
