Logging running navigation courses

Hi all,

I have done some long runs lately via navigation courses in order run through nice area's I have not been yet. However I found out that running courses are logged somewhat different compared to logging a normal run.

It seems that logging courses is excluding
- Logging cadence
- Training load and thereby part of overall training status
- Being part of running records, like longest run

Is there a way to configure the watch that it includes all above? I do understand it is a different app but user experience wise I really don't get it why it does not get logged as a normal run including all normal statistics. Or am I missing something?

Thanks

Can't you start a normal Run activity and then within the activity start a course? That is possible on the Fenix 3, so I would assume that it is also possible on the Fenix 5.

I agree - use the normal Run app, but before you press the Start button, press and hold the middle Menu button, then scroll down to Navigation, from where you can select courses to follow.

This will give you all your normal Running data screens, plus the navigation screens.

You are geniuses! ;-) Seems indeed a better way to do it. Somehow got used to using the navigation screen / function as it there by default. Thanks!
