Running distance is not shown

[talktomani]

Hey,

I am new to Fitbit blaze, when i run without the phone, the summary never shows the distance. How do i fix that? It always shows "N/A"

You probably don't have a stride length set. Under Account/Settings in the fitbit app, you can update your stride length. It won't be 100% accurate since you don't really run with the same stride length every time you run, but it will be a good estimate. I would test running a one mile loop and recording your steps. It should be fairly easy to calculate your stride length since the blaze will calculate your steps taken. Just calculate how many inches are in a mile and divide by how many steps you took and that is your stride length. You can do that walking and running to get your stride length.

Hello @talktomani if your using the auto track run function then no the distance will not show. 

If your using the manual track run function, then before pressing start, press the settings gear and turn off GPS.. I haven't tried this, I will need to do testing.

Why isn't the distance shown on autodetect run and can it be added?  It's seems like a simple math problem when the stride length is set. 

Alternately, can the distance be manually added to run without losing autodetect run data?

Thanks
