Why doesn't my navigation run count towards my weekly miles?

Former Member over 5 years ago

Each time I go for a run with the navigation widget, the run uploads but isn't counted as an activity. On both the connect app and strava, I struggle to get the miles added to my weekly totals. Any advice? My normal run widget runs upload just fine and only these runs count to my totals.

Exactly. "Other" does not account. But you don't have to do that.

Just include a page "Map" in the "RUN" profile and you are good to go.

Yeah, I finally figured it out after a year of trying. Hold the "up" key once you've selected "run" and then click "navigate". It makes sense now. I guess the navigate widget is for exploring purposes only, and will probably be worth using when going for walks that you don't want to affect your running stats.
