Today I recorded a walking activity on my Forerunner 55. This was a speed walk, covering 4.77 miles in 60:02.
On inspecting data in Garmin Connect after saving the activity, the cadence data stated my average cadence was 158spm (with a peak of 178spm). However, at that point, my overall stepis count for the day was only 7587 steps, including steps both before and after my walk.
This does not compute! 158 spm x 60 mins = 9480 steps, which is a lot more than 7587.
Can anyone explain? Are cadence and steps calculated by different methods?
