Is it possible to turn off the accelerometer?

I am in recovery mode after completing a marathon and for the next period I just want to run easy miles with time on feet and HR measured but without measuring distance. However when I turn off the GPS recording the accelerometer records pace and distance, often inaccurately. Is it possible to turn off this feature?

Thanks

Why not just choose a different activity type? Cardio would perform precisely the way you want it to.

I will try that - thanks.

Only minor issue is that the activity will not show up automatically as a run on GarminConnect & TrainingPeaks. I would have to edit it to a run to have it included in total running time.

True. But I guess that such effort is a smaller nuisance than having false data.

You're right.

I'm sure I'll be back to tracking distance soon enough anyway. I just wanted to see what it'd be like to step away from recording every mile run. I had thought about not recording activities at all but I find the HR and recovery metrics useful.

Cardio app is great for that. I use it regularly at floorball.
