Why do all my walks get recorded as cardio

For the last two months or so my forerunner 30 has been recording all my walks as cardio therefore not recording distance, although it does show the map. When I first got this device, which I only use for walking, the odd walk was misrecorded but now it's almost every one.

    Other Fitness Activities

    In addition to running, your device can record walking, cycling, and cardio activities. The cardio category includes all of your other activities that are not running, walking, or cycling. When you start the timer, the device uses Move IQ technology to automatically detect the activity type. If you are training indoors, you can start the activity timer without waiting for GPS. The device detects if you are training inside or outside.

    You can view the activity details on your device. You can view activity details and edit the activity type on your Garmin ConnectTm account.
