Manually Enter Distance on Treadmill

[JEP1971]

You guys need to allow manually entering treadmill distance when you finish a treadmill workout. I understand that I can enter the entire treadmill workout manually, but then I have to call it a walk or run in order to put in an accurate distance and it flatlines your heartrate and calorie burn when you do this. Fitbit does not work well in calculating the distance you actually go on a treadmill, especially if you walk or run a lot as well because it overwrites your manual step calculations you put in for treadmill work. Just make it easy for us users, Runtastic does this and it works beautifully.

Welcome to the forums!

it will never calculate the distance correctly on the treadmill. Sorry

You not covering an exact distance because you are not moving forward.
