This afternoon I went to the gym and ran four miles on the treadmill. I was wearing my Stryd footpod and got good data like I usually do after the run. After my run and without thinking I jumped on the spin bike at the gym for 20 minutes. I was still wearing the Stryd on my running shoes (the spin bikes just use toe clips). Although I admit I don't push myself as hard as I can on the bike, I was quite surprised when the summary said that I only burned 7 calories (I was expected more like 150). It appears that for the purpose of a bike ride, the Stryd is being treated as a cycling powermeter. I shows up on my activity as a native power field and not as a connect IQ field. I guess that the 7 calories equates to the amount of energy that the Stryd thinks I burned based on the types of motion it is designed to detect. Obviously, my take-away today is to remember to take the footpod off if I'm switching to a stationary bike, or at least temporarily turn off that sensor. I also noticed today after my treadmill run that my 5X did not ask me for the treadmill's distance. I don't run on the treadmill much, but I have been prompted for that information a couple of times. Did my 5X not ask me today because of the Stryd footpod? BTW, I'm running the 6.71 beta.
You have probably paired your Stryd as a ANT+ powermeter. Just remove it. Garmin watches can't use that in running mode anyway and rely on the Stryd IQ data field or app.
