I think there should be an option to save a *view* for a filter selection a user sets up.
Why having to go each time into the Filters?
You should be able to set the filters, then select a button to add the view and give it a name. Then you can save several *views* one for you runs, one for your swims etc or one for you 10k runs one for you 40k cycles etc
anything you like.
As you add more views then the user can select them from a drop down list.
On the add button there could be drop down list to Rename, Delete, Share with another user maybe (or too advanced?) Set you preferred view as Default?
I attach a pic of what it might look like just to give you an idea :)
