Does anyone use a fitbit 2?

I used mine last time I did C25K and it picked up 30 mins walking and running. Now it just does the run bit.

Does anyone know how to fix that? I’d like to include walk and run combination.

Thanks!

I’m new to Fitbit, but I’m guessing you can manually start it at the beginning of your walk/run session...and stop it when you finish? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have a fitbit 2. Not sure exactly what you mean- do you want it to show separate details for the walking and running, or the combined session ? Mine is set to automatically record an exercise session only after 10 mins of either walking or running, so perhaps you need to change the time in your settings? I've linked mine to my phone now, so when I set out for my run I can go into the fitbit app and track from the start of my run, but if it's a mix of walking and running I would have to go to the app and stop recording one activity before starting the other activity if I wanted to see them separately. Before I graduated I simply tracked the whole session - now I only track the running, not the warm up or cool down walk.

I have a fitbit versa lite which is a variation of the versa 2. As rising60 says, you can set it to automatically recognise activity after 10 minutes. My warm up walk is less than 10 minutes and I start mine when I start the run itself, but I notice when I get home it has also recorded the cool down walk separately.

Not what you're looking for?
