I’ve ran thousands of miles using a GPS watch with other people
wearing GPS watches and they rarely match completely. They are accurate but your concept of accuracy being within .02 over 3.1 miles being some standard is dead wrong.
Something as simple as how you swing your arm when your run can change the accuracy. Elevation changes affect accuracy as well.
Then there is the concept of how you run taking when your turns etc….
But hey don’t listen to me I obviously have no clue about any of this.
