A Running course created in Garmin Connect is recorded as an Other Activity

PhilAlker over 3 years ago

I created a running course in Garmin connect and synced it to my Fenix 5 Plus.

I started a Run activity and selecting down, chose Navigate from the option. Then I loaded the course and went running.

I had it display the map as I was unfamiliar with the route.

On saving it didn't recognise that it was a Run, and therefore I had no 1km laps recorded.

I was able to change the type to a run afterwards, but why didn't it just record the activity as a Run?

(I have an Edge 830 and the cycling courses I create in Garmin Connect work fine)

Hi,

Thank you for your reply, The steps suggested are exactly how I did it.

I created a Run course in Garmin Connect on the web, I synced it to my watch using the mobile version and I started a run activity and navigated to the course.

I completed a virtual half marathon but the site software didn't recognise it as a run, I am able to change it to a run once it has loaded, but that was too late. The event organisers accepted a screen shot so all was ok in the end.

A route created the same way for cycling works perfectly on my Edge 830.

My Fenix is at version 15.20
