May I track my indoor runs as an outdoor run just because I want to? I heard the only difference between an outdoor run and indoor run on an Apple Watch is the GPS thingy (alien.top)

I’ve done it on accident. The distance will be off and your map will be you going back and forth a couple feet

Why would you want to? Also you can but it will me incorrect data. And your HR stats will be off slightly. Mainly your zones and not the HR reading themselves.

You can track it as any activity you like, but choosing the right one gives you the right data.

You can but the data will be off. If you’re running on a treadmill, it’ll be completely noise. If you’re running on an indoor track, you might get something more reasonable but it’ll still be really noisy and error-prone.

This will mess up the pedometer calibration. Don’t do it. What is the point anyways?

I think since it activates your VO2max thingy I’ll start tracking it as outdoor run for the winter season 🤷🏻‍♀️
