Navigate a course shows in Garmin Connect and Strava as Workout instead of Run

Former Member over 7 years ago

HI all

I've loaded a GPX course exported from Strava and imported into Garmin Connect. I set the Course type to 'Trail Running' then sent it to my 935.

Today I used the course and when completed it synced with Garmin Connect and Strava as type 'Workout'.

Any idea how to set the course type to Run or Trail Run so it loads into Garmin Connect and Strava correctly ? I had to go into Strava and Connect and set the completed activity to 'Run' afterwards. Very annoying having to change this after the fact.

Am I doing something wrong when loading the course ?

I'm guessing you started the course with Start>Navigate>Courses..., correct?
Instead of that, do Start>Trail Run, wait for GPS lock, then hold Up till the menu pops up, >Navigation>Courses and select your course.
That way, the navigated activity has the activity type and the custom screens you've set up for that kind of activity.

Not doing anything wrong, but the simple obvious way to follow a course isn't the best one, as you've found.

YES that's what I did wrong.

Thanks for tip. I'll do that next time :)
