GC to MFP, all activities are pushed as "doing xx minutes of Running(jogging), 5mph..

Former Member over 10 years ago

I have a Garmin Forerunner 220, after I sync the watch I go to the Garmin Connect page and edit the Workout according to what I did "Strength Training", "Indoor Cardio", etc. but no matter what activity I have entered, when synced to My Fitness Pal all activities are recorded running(jogging), for example, "burned 665 calories doing 136 minutes of Running (jogging), 5 mph (12 min mile)". Although the calories and timing are correct I'd like the activity to be correct as well.
Any ideas on how can I fix it?

I already contacted My Fitness Pal and they told me that "The way our API works, the partner program is responsible for sending us any data created within their program. Once we receive this data we display the information in your Exercise Diary for them"

How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance

+1!!!!
It's really irritating when I do multiple activities in a day and they all read the same in MFP.

Thanks Michelle, good to know I'm not the only one.
Anyone from Garmin cares to chime in?

I have exactly the same issue! Thanks for clearly stating it!

I tried checking the settings and changing it on Garmin Connect or MPF so that it would only sync once a day or when I did a push, but, I can't figure out how to do that either. I was thinking that if I was able to update Garmin Connect first, the correct information would be sent to MFP.

Well I still have the same problem and it looks like Garmin has not done anything about in the last month.

It's actually been that way for about a year (since GC started to link to MFP). Maybe no one contacted garmin support about it. Garmin supports doesn't monitor these forums.
