Stipulating that it isn't highly accurate, how does one go about improving the time that it spits out? It seems like a "black box" to me. No rhyme or reason as to what might cause it to make a leap.
Just curious.

You don't.

Are you wearing a chest strap?
Best way to improve the metric is to up your training load and get more fit.
To get an accurate reading, you need the chest strap and have to do a fairly long run at a good tempo effort without gps drift.
But also, Garmin isn't very good as a race predictor. You could go run a marathon and the watch would still give you a different answer.

Mine currently says 2:38:42 for the marathon prediction.
I ran 3:06 two weeks ago.
I'm actually probably in about 3:00 shape and had a horrible race but there is still a large difference between 2:38 and 3:00.
