Is there a way to track distance for mixed cardio or a similar workout type? I do cross training that also involves running, but if I use the running workout its going to show way different data since I'm not constantly running vs when I am doing a workout that only involves running. Sorry if this has been asked already as I am new to this app.
Also is there a way to create a custom workout like on Garmin or are the screens in the preset workouts the only area that can be customized? Thanks for creating such a great app!

Is there any way to reset the iPhone and Apple Watch without losing all the routes made up to that moment?
I'm going to reset the iPhone due to problems external to WOD and I would like to know if there is a way to avoid losing data... (I have already exported the screens and profiles to import them later).
Thanks!

Sorry - I am a coder with very little graphic design ability.The app is fantastic. I bought it a long time ago and use it almost every day for running. Thank you CFC for developing it.
The only problem I got with the app is its graphical design. I don't mean readability, which is very good. I mean it's not super beautiful and it could be improved pretty easy in my opinion. My biggest complaints are with the fonts displaying digits. They are no monospaced so each change in value changes the width of the text. They are not consistent in terms of position and size. And they are to close to field borders.
Minor issues like color palette, or cutting background of fields at the screen corner could be improved too
Still, this the best app.
Glad you like the app though!
This is not a problem with WOD. As you say it gets the HR from watchOS. Sometimes people think the HR works better with other apps but that is probably just random luck or in some cases because people use different apps for different activities and the activity type makes a big difference. For example running makes it much more difficult for the watch to get an HR lock than cycling.
Either enable heart zone alerts or enable the maximum hr alert and set it to the highest bpm for zone 2.
In the future if you cannot read the heart rate then please check the permissions in Apple's Settings app (Privacy / Health / WorkOutDoors). You should never need to reinstall the iPhone app. Doing that would have cleared all the maps on both the iPhone and the watch.
I plan to add the ability to create custom activity types in the future. It is top of my list after I have improved the navigation features. However the navigation improvements will take a long time...
You can use Apple's File Sharing mechanism to copy the data to a computer and then back again afterwards:

I actually looked into this at one point. (I'm working on a hiking app for Scotland specifically). My chat with the Strava sales team was along the lines of "You're a solo developer? Yeah, this won't be for you". I think the pricing is _insane_.
Hi Ian, give them your number of users and I think they will think about it you don't have to blush !😉
I heard the same when I looked into it a few years back. Not priced for solo developers!
Live segments have never been a popular request. Maybe 10 or 20 times in total and only once in the last year, so they wouldn't have been high on my list anyway.
Oh it was absolutely a permissions issue. I guessed as much at the beginning as the HR was working fine in every other app. Everything was set to allow however so something weird happened in the transfer to my new phone. What I didn't try and should have was to toggle everything off and then back on. That might have worked.
Any word on the mapping issue I mentioned? I cannot tell what maps I have downloaded to my watch at all. I used to get an indication via a box I could distinguish from the rest of the maps however now there is no indication to what is downloaded.
Oh, I got it working. I had to purge all map files from the map settings screen. Now it works as expected.
Edit: Scratch that...... it kind of works? The first box I drew properly outlined what was downloaded, then after that it stopped. That seems like an issue?
Edit 2: Seems to work at some zoom levels but not all. I can't think up a good logical reason for what I'm seeing.

I hear about issues with the downloaded map areas maybe once or twice a year, so there is definitely a rare problem with it. However I have never been able to reproduce it.
The strange thing is that you have completely uninstalled the iPhone app (which I never recommend as a fix because it loses the data), but which should be the ultimate reset that fixes anything like that. Maybe try clearing the Map cache from both devices (Settings / File Management) and then unpairing the watch from the phone and then re-pairing it.
It's probably better to use the Skiing (XC) workout for ski touring. Apple's workout system does clever piste detection etc for downhill skiing which may be confused by ski touring.
Hi all, I may have found a bug here, I noticed for the 3 last runs I've done that I don't get alert anymore based on hearth zone.
My permissions are all ok and all the other alerts are working perfectly (I also use periodical ones on each km and speed zones) but Hearth zone doesn't anymore. All my schedules were created before watch os 10 and I'm on all the latest version iOS 17.0.2 and watch os 10.0.1.
Did I miss something ?

No-one else is reporting that.
Is it a general heart zone alert or an alert on an interval schedule?
Can you see heart values or are they missing?
Is it just the voice missing? Can you see or feel the alert but not hear it?
So fast !
Yeah sorry should have provided more details, it's a schedule with only one interval where the goal is to stay in the heart zone.
I can see the values during the run, don't think I got the haptics either but not 100% certain to be honest.
Here is the schedule:
I have already done a reboot of my AWU, may do the same for the iPhone.

Please could you send me the wkt file for that workout and I will take a look. To do this tap the Export button 3 times quickly and send to info@workoutdoors.net
