Cardio Fitness Score

Hi! I run 4 miles and then mostly walk and run a little on the 5th mile. Am I better to stop the tracking after the 4th mile so my cardio score does not go down or will it give me additional credit for doing 5 miles no matter how slow the 5th mile is?  Thanks

Hi @Justjust, Welcome to  the Fitbit Community! It's great to have you here!

Thank you for your question about how to log your activities better.

The concept of a workout implies the fact of doing an activity in a period of time. However, the cardio Fitness score is a stat that is calculated from the overall heart performance.

In brief, when you actually stop your running activity, it won't have an impact on your Cardio Fitness Score. For more information about this topic, i recommend to take a look at our help article What is my cardio fitness score? > How does Fitbit measure my cardio fitness score?
