C25K app logging as Aerobic

[battyknitter]

Hello, I downloaded the c25k app onto my Versa from the Fitbit app store and tried it today. It seems to only log it as an aerobic workout and it doesn't show any detail, no GPS map, no KM's done?

Hi, instead of C25k, i would recommend Gym Genius as an alternative. It helps you to perform structured Gy, Yoga and Crossfit workouts.

That did not answer any of my questions.

Anyone else know?

Hi, go to your first post and press the three dots and scroll down to "this is not the solution", press that and your choice will be undone. Despite the fact that it's always very nice to get your answer appointed as an accepted solution, I'm not the guy who does want undeserved ones.

@battyknitter   The C25k app is a freestanding app and it doesn't have any inherent GPS capability.  Also, as a free standing app, a workout doesn't get transferred as a distinct workout like Fitbit Coach and Fitbit Yoga do.  This explains why it got auto-recorded as an aerobic workout.  Auto-recognized workouts are not GPS connected.

In order to get a map, you would need to run the C25k app and the Exercise app at the same time.  The Fitbit OS does not support background running apps.  The C25k must be in the foreground -- that information is available at the bottom of the app details -- the part that you see when you tap on Show More.  I don't know of any way to run both apps at the same time.

Oh that's too bad!
