I walk a lot as well as running and it would be great to be able to track the walking in the same way i track my running (eg track mileage on shoes, show kph. Thanks

If you go to Options (Upper Right) and then My Log Preferences and click Running - there you can add Walking as a "Run Type" if you wish.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

I've also wanted to track shoe mileage for custom workout types, but for me it's for hiking. I wear my trail runners on a lot of hikes, so they end up with a lot of untracked mileage. I considered added "hiking" as a run type, as Bonkin suggested, but then I'd have to go back and figure out how much of my running for the week was actually running...because I don't count hiking toward my weekly run totals. Probably not the biggest deal...but I thought I'd weigh in since someone brought it up. jake

Definitely a downside to the alternate workout types. Hopefully, Eric will address this in the new release he is working on. Another option is to total it up periodically - monthly maybe - and then edit your shoes and add the totals to the "Initial mileage" field of the shoe. I did this quite a bit when I first started out and was doing a lot of walking.

Wow...it's always the simplest solutions that elude me. Thanks.
