Strength Workouts increase mileage when uploaded to Garmin Connect

Garmin Connect is now using the total weight lifted for strength workouts and adding that to my weekly/monthly mileage. For this week I've done 13,400.31 miles which would be outstanding but I've actually had to work and sleep as well. Anyone else encountering this issue? Deleting the Strength Workout removes the extra mileage, but now I'm losing the strength tracking that I'm no longer able to easily find on the New and Not Improved Garmin Connect Interface (web and App).

Edited to make the title clearer to what is going on.

I can see where the file is showing mileage.

Why this is occurring, not exactly sure yet. Still checking...

Strange. Not seeing that on my calendar. Could you zip then attach one of the fit files that is showing up with mileage? Maybe something in the file is causing this.

.fit file from today's workout shows 21,474,836.47 miles. .fit file from last week (before the error) shows 0 miles.

My guess is something in the file with erroneous timestamps. On rare occasions I've seen this where 1 timestamp will mysteriously contain GPS coordinates. Even though GPS is turned off during a strength training session.

It was in the first timestamp record. I deleted it and checked it in Garmin Connect. No more mileage.

The typical suggestion for this is to empty the contents of the \GARMIN\ACTIVITY folder. Report the issue directly to Garmin Product Support if this issue persists.
