Did you configure a lap distance?

Lap Distance (in meters) Lap Distance is useful for people running in competition. It allows to readjust distance. For example, if you set the value to 1000 (meters), it allows you to press the lap button at each kilometer. If Garmin had calculated a value of 1.01 km at km #1, it will readjust to 1.00 km when you press the lap button. Average Speed, Pace, ETA, etc. will be readjusted using the updated distance. To determine what the new distance should be, the distance is divided by "Lap Distance" and is adjusted to the closest value. For example, if "Lap Distance" is set to 400 meters and you press the lap button at 1195 meters, the distance will be corrected to 1200 meters. If the distance was 1225 meters, it would also be corrected to 1200 meters. It is important to note that you do not have to press lap button on every lap since the value is always corrected using the closest lap distance.
