Hello,

I am doing Beginner running program plan and decided to do longer alternatives on Coach instead of what plan offered and it did not take it into account.

The Power Walk and Jog on Fitbit Coach, were ignored. However my long walk that fitbit recorded automatically was taken into account by program plan.

It does state that as long as I do 20min cardio activity program plan will automatically take into account. So there should not be no difference to take into account training done via via Coach or fitbit recording activity automatically.

@AstaM It's nice to see you on the Community. Sorry for the delayed reply. 

 

Thanks for letting me know that you're doing Beginner running program. 

 

The Coach workouts should count in your Guided Program as long as it's related to the program that you signed up for. Also, it will count if the workout dates are on the same days as the schedule you chose during guided program setup. 

 

I'll be around if you have any additional questions.

It doesn't.

I done Power Walk on the Coach, the same day and it did not take into account. In my opinion it is relevant.

However on the notes it does not state it has to be relevant it says :"Spend 20 min doing any activity you enjoy that gets you into your cardio zone. We'll track it automatically"

In such instance it is very misleading. It should not state any and should name the relevant activities.
