✓ Show Garmin calibrated treadmill distances on Strava activities

[DaftnDirect]

There is a problem with Garmin treadmill uploads to Strava whereby at the end of a run, you calibrate the distance based on the actual treadmill distance and the watch then uploads the recalibrated distance to Garmin Connect.

When synced with Strava however, Strava shows the uncalibrated distance, which can be a long way off. This seems to have been a problem for a long time, going by the age of the thread on the Garmin forum (5 years to be precise).

It would be great if the calibrated distances appeared on Strava.

@boesharkey that's awesome to hear! glad it's working well 🙂

Hello @DaftnDirect and everyone else who took the time to add your votes and comments!

I'm happy to let you know that his has been implemented.   Effective today, when you upload your Garmin recorded treadmill run, you will see the Garmin calibrated distance on your Strava activity page.

Let us know if you have any questions about this, and thanks again for taking the time out to provide your feedback.

@Jane no way lol. awesome! is it a coincidence that Strava decided to work on this right after I built the tool? I guess I can scrap the tool and stop paying for hosting costs then!

[DaftnDirect]

Wow, I was beginning to wonder if it would happen tbh but very pleased that it's been sorted.

Thanks Jane for the confirmation and to the devs for doing it. It's really useful for those of use who do part of their training indoors.

Now I feel like getting up early tomorrow and put in a test run!

...and to Sam, whether your tool was influential in this happening or not, thankyou too!!!

This is fantastic! So happy to see a change pushed through! I can't wait to get in a test run.

This is awesome!  Thank you for making the improvements!

Great to hear a fix for this has been implemented.

Except that it's not working for me. I'm still seeing the unadjusted (wrong) distance show on strava for my treadmill runs.

What do I need to do to resolve this?
