Course-based run recorded as a workout

Hi all,
I regularly plot running routes using GC; sometimes I'll build the course in GC, sometimes I'll import a GPX file. Either way, whenever I do this I always choose course type 'running'. I load the course onto my Fenix 5 and off I go. The problem is, when I sync the completed activity, it appears in Garmin (and subsequently in sync with Strava) as a workout, rather than a run. It's a little irritating as I have to go into the activity settings and change it to a run. The more irritating this is that because it's recorded the activity as a workout, it seems to discount/delete any associated cadence data - leaving me with just HR, temperature and pace.

Does anyone else experience this? No matter how many times I choose 'running' as the course type, when it gets recorded on the Fenix 5 it thinks it's a workout.

Thanks in advance!

Dan
