I updated to iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 6 and the walking + running distance measurement is broken. It captures my steps calculated accurately but not the WR distance.
Anyone else experience this?

I have a problem with the cycling. After a bike ride it shows I climbed a bunch of stairs. I rode 26 miles yesterday, the phone said I climbed 14 flights of steps and traveled 1.4 miles. The cycling distance is fed into Health via Strava and it did this correctly for my cycling distance and time but the data collected from the phone was not right. It has an issue with knowing that I went for a ride and excluding the data during that time. It should see that I was not walking based on the fact that it has access to ride data, the day/time and speed.
It will show a .1 or .2 for a walk of 7 miles. How did you fix it?

Oh... That sucks. And I'm not being flippant either.
I am using a Garmin edge 810 for my biking telemetry. Call me old fashioned, many do, but I'd rather have a dedicated device log everything than rely on an app. Although, my Edge did bite me, pretty hard too. There was a bug in one of their firmware versions that did not save the ride telemetry between rides if you didn't synch it before turning it off. Oh, and the Garmin app wouldn't synch the data without spending a frustrating amount of time, and having a lot of luck, but they fixed the saving the data problem... I 'lost' some really awesome rides that I'd have liked to have kept the data from, but that's life I guess.
I'm looking seriously at getting the Garmin fenix 3 now instead of an Apple Watch, because it's capable of doing all of the telemetry I think I'd ever need. (And the Apple Watch doesn't do ANT+, AFAIK)
Plus I found Strava as being too tied to one brand of sensor, and the Garmin works, so far, with everything I've thrown at it. It works with the DuoTrap on my Trek, and it's one less thing that I have to futz with.
Climb on, hold on, and go. Simple works...
I'm using a Garmin 500. I only use Strava as a way to feed data from my Garmin to the Health app. I have my iPhone in my center pocket when I ride but I don't use it for logging my ride. My Garmin data is fed into MyFitnessPal too so I can track my calories burned along with my calories taken in. My cadence sensor and heart rate strap are both ANT+ so far as I know so they would not work with the iPhone anyhow. (both Garmin and part of the 500 kit bought a few years ago)

I had the same problem. I reinstalled 8.2 and setup phone as new to fix the issue.
so thats the only way to make it working again? there must be a bug about the backup files..
Wow, you sound like more of a lab rat than I do. How easy is 'myfitnesspal' to use? The spouse used a program years ago that 'required' everything eaten to be entered, which I realize is the point, but almost nothing was in their system. Everything had to be typed in, and it got to be horribly time consuming, and was dropped.
I didn't know if the Apple Watch would use ANT+, and, on some levels, are surprised they skipped that as a supported protocol, but after running into some compatibility issues earlier between ANT+ vendors, I can imagine why.
I've had mixed success with the Garmin app syncing the 810, so I usually always ignore the pair messages and sync through the USB when I get home.
Curious too, have you thought of the fenix 3 as an Edge/whatever replacement? It seems to have all the bells and whistles that would make it hard to not want one.
Thanks for the comment back. I want/have to get in better shape soon. Had a rough couple of months post knee surgery. Gained a few.
