Edit 'Distance' in Garmin Connect?

Former Member over 15 years ago

Hi there, when i go to the gym and run on the treadmill, i time it using my 310XT and lap every mile while tracking my HR. At the end of my run i stop the clock and then upload to MyGarmin Connect when i get home.

The problem is that i cannot edit the 'Distance' field with the distance that I ran on the treadmill. This messes up my reports. Can anyone tell me why I cannot edit this field?

thanks in advance,

john

I too would appreciate this option - and including the calories field!

Garmin Connect cannot do this. I use runningahead.com. It's free. You can edit all of your splits with your lap distances and it will automatically average your HR, pace and calories and give you your time for each split. It also keeps track of your equipment like shoe mileage.

Fantastic, thanks so much for the information Linda. Opening up the Distance field in Garmin Connect seems like such a no brainer, i can't believe they wouldn't do this. I'll check out the site you reference, thanks again.

hi all,

We've posted the answer in other threads, Twitter, Facebook. We will release the ability to edit metrics, including distance, in mid-March.

So, mid-March passed - but still not possible. Any new updates please?

I've been able to edit these fields for a couple of week, since the last site update. Thanks for the update, btw, Garmin!

Can you share how / where you're editing your distance? I can't find any editable distance fields.

Are you able to edit an activities date and time? That's the one that's really getting me right now; I have activities with incorrect dates and times due to my 310xt not receiving a GPS signal and those activities are throwing off my totals.

Open up your activity. You'll see a pencil to the right of Summary. Click on that and away you go.

Good to see some work but now there needs to be some auto-calculating for some of the fields. For instance, with time provided and distance input, average speed should be able to be calculated.

Fail to see why some of the fields are mandatory. There is no HR recorded in the swim thus no calorie calculation.

And when can we edit the lap data so that lap distances can be added?

This is an old thread, but it seems that this is still not possible. Through this thread I stumbled upon RunAhead where it is possible. Uploaded all tracks from my FR305, but for most of the activities the maps are missing. But the good point is that you can manually edit laps (e.g. distance for it, as that's what I wanted).

Example activity: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/149493263 . Laps 3 and 4 are correct, but 5 until 8 got messed up due to the change of running direction (3 and 4 are clockwise, 5 and 6 are counterclockwise, 7 and 8 (not complete round) are clockwise again.
