Measuring how far i ran at football?

[stephenc88]

I play football twice per week using my fitbit versa. I usually select "workout" on my watch to record my game. The only thing is, it doesn't show me how far i have run in that 1 hour on my mobile app. 

Is there a way of me being able to see my distance ran in miles or should i select a different option to record my data?

Welcome to the forums!

Workout mode will never show distance.

Try Run and see if it works.

Hope to see you around the forums!

Hi, 

So both the versa and versa lite don't have their own GPS, which means they require your phone to be with you in order to map out your distance (as they use your phones GPS). 

Maybe try a football session with a strap on your arm that has your phone on and see if that works? 

Hope this helps!
