While I think I am running at the steady pace, when looking at the speed/pace graph, one can see pretty regular pace variation in cycles of 400m in length.
Is it a recognized pattern, that a regular periods would appear?

I do not perceive such changes in pace or effort.
Maybe its just GPS data rounding up and down?
OK, I'll bite:
You are running on a track and there is a steady wind from one direction.
that would be an elegant explanation but the case is that i run 4 miles circle on a flat terrain. actually, its not just me, if i look at other peoples' workouts on strava, 300-600m waves seem to be present in most workouts.

I've found that Strava does this with my Garmin data. When I look at m Garmin data however it is consistent.
Also have found that losing signal will affect your pace/graph. I have a few spots on my regular runs where I drop signal and it drops my pace 45 seconds and then when I get it back it compensates for that and i'm going at 45 seconds faster.
hm, there seem to be regular waves at garmin too ..

I don't know if you know this but 400m is the circumference of the Earth divided by 100,000.
I don't think that has anything to do with your question but I thought it was interesting.

Interesting. Are the patterns the same/correlated on both apps? Is the pattern the same on different days? Or for different runs/workouts?
