    There's a couple of likely causes and some fixes.

    The time is probably due to how pauses are handled - The Bolt (I'm fairly sure this is the default behaviour) will auto pause after a few seconds without movement. Strava will have a moving time and a total time - You'll probably find the time on the Bolt sits somewhere between these.

    The distance could be because you lost GPS at some point, and Strava's corrected it. If this is the case, a potential fix is to use a Bluetooth/ANT+ speed sensor paired to the Bolt - That way it will have movement data even if the GPS signal is patchy.
