Charge 4 or 5, manual distance input wgen on treadmill

[LAE1955]

 I run at different speeds (paces) on the treadmill  (ie. Interval trianing) I've changed the stride legth but it's never accurate. Would be simpler to be able to manually input the distance afer I'm done. Any suggestions?

@LAE1955 Hello and welcome. From my experience as a treadmill runner, any Fitbit I use will not match the treadmill. I use the treadmill distance because the belt should be correct where as the Fitbit is trying to go off of wrist motion and stride length. In general, my treadmill distance is 10% more than my Fitbit. Sometimes it's more, depending on how long I'm on the treadmill and sometimes for walks the difference isn't that much.

I am on iOS and I can't edit the distance, only the stop and start times of the exercise. But typically I just know it's probably 5-10% more than what the Fitbit app is telling me.  When I'm training for a race, I usually take a picture of my treadmill screen when I'm done and log the distance in my own spreadsheet. Sorry I don't have a better solution for you. But if you can edit the distance, then that would be for the best.
