averageCadence and maxCadence on the va (for running)

I've added the display of currentCadence, averageCadence, and maxCadence to a running app on the vivoactive.

While currentCadence seems correct, averageCadence and maxCadence seems to be 1/2 of what they should be (I'm not using a footpod)

In the doc for cadence in activityInfo talks about revolutions, so could it be that currentCadence when running is steps, but for max and avg, it's still "revolutions" (2 steps?)

    I believe this was reported once before and we have a bug report logged.

    The cadence metric is stored internally as strides/cycles, but the device shows steps (strides x 2) for running and walking activities. This logic has been included in the cadence metric for ConnectIQ, but was left out of the average and max.
  • Thanks for the info - for now, I'll just double the numbers for avg and max!
