Hello, I want to use the treadmills in my local gym to complete the runs in my training. Is it possible to do this somehow?

Why not just log your runs using the “+” symbol? I just use my Garmin watch to do my runs, and almost always just log them using the “+” symbol in the top right hand corner. Ok, instead of using a Garmin to track your run you’re using a treadmill but the process of actually saving the run would be the same for each case.

This ☝🏻 is a good tip!

Another thing you can do, which is probably a better idea during any running workout that involves intervals is toggle off the “GPS tracking” before hitting start. Like this 👇

Then do your run as planned, tap “Next” when you run the first interval, and so on 👍
