Do any of the third-party running apps provide the ability to input distance at the end of a treadmill run? My Garmin allows me to manually enter the distance after each treadmill run (and re-calibrate the accelerometer) and I’m hoping to find something similar with a third-party Apple Watch running app.

Right now I’m just using the built-in Workout app, saving the run, importing it into RunGap, revising the distance, and then re-importing it into the Fitness app on my phone. It works but I’m hoping to find something better.

I do cycling inside and use Rungap to take my workout from Apple into Garmin and edit the workouts in Garmin.,

I use RunGap also, but I was wondering if there was something that allowed you to correct the treadmill distance on the watch itself to save the additional step.

Yea, me too.,How hard would it be for Apple to let you edit distance for indoor activities? They don’t even provide a guess with the the accelerometer.
