What is the best way to track running + strength training + running?

I just assign "Change Sport" to a Hot Key and use that to freely change to a diffrent sport during training. These sessions show up as Multisport in my Garmin Connect.

Sounds good, is it correct that this then only works via the hotkey? Because in the menu of the activity I do not see that.

I think this is the case eg. a Hot Key is needed fot this. I often combine my exercises on the fly: cycle or walk to a nearby outdoor gym /fitness stairs etc. so this worls for me quite nice as no preparation or planning is needed. 

Thank you, i will try tomorrow

Other alternative would be to create a multi-sport activity. The pros of this is the ability to add transitions. But lacks flexibility i.e. have to do the sports you have set up.

The pro of using the "Change Sport" hotkey is the huge amount of flexibility you can use. The con is no transition time. I just tend to use lap to create a rest period, then use Change Sport when ready to go on next sport.

Hm, did you read my initial post? Are you able to create multipsort with "strength training"? In my case its not offered.

It worked, thank you very much. It is a pity that logically for the 2 runs (interrupted run) separate VO2max calculations are made. It would be nice if one could combine this.

no as always used the hotkey combo, however if strength training isn't an option use Cardio or other.
