Treadmill speed?

I want to enter the treadmill speed on my phone app but that field is partially cutoff and inaccessible. I also don't see anywhere on the computer dashboard to add this information. Instead, the computer app lets me set time, distance, and calories, but no field for treadmill speed. Also where can I go to edit exercise entries?

Just one more thing. There is a workaround I used to use in that case. First, you track your exercise as normal. When finished, add the same exercise manually, fill all the fields that Fitbit didn't figure out. As for calories, time and duration - just copy what tracked exercise shows. You will have two exercises done at the same time. The manually added exercise overrides tracked one. Lastly, delete tracked one. It is a bit of a chore and I found out that logging the activity via website dashboard adds little more precision to the numeric fields than if you use the app. Of course, this really defeats the purpose of tracking activity at all if you need to log it manually anyway but at least it's some sort of workaround.

You can't. In general, there is no way to edit exercises except changing the name of some of them ( like Workout ). That also annoys me. Every other app and devices I use allow me to fill in missing details of exercise or edit it afterwards to make it more accurate ( for example the watch cannot know a distance of indoor rowing and many other parameters ). Fitbit doesn't have this feature.
