I would like to edit the distance when running on an treadmill. I use the ionics treadmill mode but the distance is way of. On a 10k run it is of by 2.2k shorter.

The recorded exercise cannot be edited, but you can change your profile Stride Length to adjust the calculated distance.  In the Treadmill mode the distance is a calculated number based on the number of steps by the stride length.

That is not likely to happen any  time soon, as it would totally destroy the ability to have honest challenges.  If users could edit their steps or distances, the challenges dashboard would change on the fly.

But surely it's more important to have accurate distanceses. The challenges är secundary in My opinion. The greatest opponent is yourself 😁

I have been searching the same question.  I use MapMyRun as my primary tracker and have to manually log any treadmill runs (which are more frequent in the winter).  Tracking distance on treadmills is really inaccurate anyway and a manual entry on the Fitbit app should be allowed.  Not sure why this has not changed.
