I recently purchased the Garmin Fenix 8.  I use an indoor rowing machine.  The Fenix has a icon for indoor rowing workouts, but when the workout transfers to Strava, it shows up as an outdoor rowing activity with no way to change to indoor row or to add distance.  

Thoughts?

Hey ​@bdakin70,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention as Indoor Rowing is not captured quite the same as Outdoor Rowing. 
Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to edit the distance for Rowing activities uploaded from Garmin.

The next best solution I recommend is uploading a manual Indoor Rowing workout and inputting the distance yourself.
Although you won’t be able to capture your Heart Rate & Cadence, you can still use the “Perceived Exertion” to make up for them.
This way you’ll still be able to receive a Relative Effort score.

I hope this helps!
