Hello.

Is there any possibility to have nordic walking as a seperate activity type?

The buggest prolem is that the VO2max is calculated incorrectly (you get lower numbers). It sucks. Can't understamd that Garmin does not hear it.

Using Runalyze there is way to separate nordic walking stats. With Garmin I use nordic ski activity and transform that walking activity. Using HRM-PRO strap there is way get watts. Garmin's history is totally useless way to tracking nordic walking stats or anything else without native activity. So Strava show skii'ing and Garmin show all walking, Runalyze shows Nordic walking stats and trimp correctly.
