I run/walk trails for 8-12 miles and I would like to know how much of it is running vs walking. I’m thinking everything faster than 14:00 min/mi pace is running so is there a way to track that either by miles or % of my workout?
You could do that by creating a Custom Activity field. Some Javascript knowledge is required but if you have a clear speed difference walking/running, it shouldn’t be to difficult.
Get the velocity_fixed stream (that’s in m/sec) and increase a counter for each value above the selected speed. Then compare to the total moving time and output a percentage.
I walk at about 15-16 min/mile and run at about 10 to 11:30 most of the time with some faster moments here and there so that seems like a big difference. I have zero Javascript knowledge but I’ll watch some YT videos and see if I can figure it out next week

There are already some user fields available for this, but they are all based on cadence.
For me cadence is not ideal because when walking fast or jogging slow, cadence is similar.
Give it a try and eventually just modify the script a bit to define speed as differentiator.
What if I just had two pace zones? my desire to monitor run vs walk is only temporary until I can run the whole 8 miles or 10K so maybe for just 6 months (I hope)
Oh . . . I see that we have to have at least three pace zones
I could try cadence and see if it works. How do I get to that screen in your picture?
In the script you wiil see cadence threshold at 65. That´s how cadence is logged, a full L/R cycle iso 130 which is mainstream for walk/run.
You can play with it to find out which value gives best results for you.
