No, that's not what I meant. Nice workout :)

And I'm not interested if people are cheating or not. Who cares? They would also be cheating themselves. I just only would like to use the program in a sport that it suggests to support, but in real doesn't. That's what I'm interested in....

heart rate sensor?

Perhaps you can use a heart rate sensor.
I think, it will count your calories on your homepage (http://www.gps-sport.net/trainings/spinning_1344710).

But it won´t count in your activiti :-(

Hi,

For a couple of years I’m running and recently I started to do some fitness as well. Now I noticed that only sports ‘count’ where the GPS-signal shows movement and speed, so one hour of fitness shows only 33 kcal (!).

I asked the Run.GPS support about this and what they – shortly say – is that the reason for this is to limit the possibility for cheating.

So, if someone would drive a motorbike telling the program he’s running, the activity will be count as ‘very big’, but if someone is doing a big workout in a fitness gym (see my training 3-feb-2015) according to the program I haven’t done pretty much anything. So I’m now adding my fitness trainings manually, once according to Run.GPS this can’t be considered to be an active sport…

Somehow this feels unfair to me: I’m using the program to see my own improvement and only because some people might ‘cheat’ in some sports, the program supports (in real) only sports where you make long distances. Fair?

Not if you ask me: I saw on someone’s profile “running 108 KM in 16 hours”(!) and that seems to be fine for the program as an realistic workout. I’m not saying that it isn’t, but it seems to be quite a lot (if you ask me). Probably going by bike and telling the program you are running would also work, but, simply doing a big workout in a gym won’t be count, once that ‘could be cheating’…

I was wandering how other people are thinking about this: is it more important to make it not possible to cheat in sports without long distance movement (while cheating in sports with long distance movement is possible), or should the program be fair to the people how are using it to see their own improvement?

If you ask me, the last option. It feels unfair that I’m limited to choose the sport I want to do (if I want to see my improvement in the program) just because other people might cheat. It feels the same as if Facebook would no longer make it possible to add new friends, just because some people would misuse th
