Are you tracking jogging miles as walking miles too?
Would that be considered as "double dipping"???? Unsure Need your feedback so I can do it too

Thats a tough one. If one is run/walking or walking with sprints like a HIIT workout, that may be tough to figure what steps go where. Maybe there should be a run/walk challenge!

I always divided my steps up between walking and running. (never double dipped). Now with FitBit I don't have to worry about it anymore. The FitBit knows how many steps and I don't enter steps at all on the fitness tracker. So much less hassle :)

run/walks
When I first started...I had to do intervals of walking and running as most new runners do. I didn't use the steps method for that, I used the time/distance method. I used to even go as far as logging one "set" for each interval which was tedious to say the least. Once I got the hang of fitclick though, I just combined the totals into each exercise under one set. i.e. total walking and total running. It's usually easier to estimate the time you spent running at a certain pace, rather than the number of steps when you're breaking it up like that. I still separate my running from walking now. I usually will pause my pedometer app on my smartphone when running (or I can switch it to running mode, but then I have to subtract the steps walked from the total which is a pain) that way my pedometer only counts the steps walked and my running app counts my running. The hard part is remembering to turn the app back on after running. I've missed a fair amount of steps from that at times.
Hope that helps.

There is an online step conversion chart for all types of exercises. Whatever type of exercise you do, walking, running, swimming and the like all converts to steps for the day. Running is counted in miles or time, not steps, but the steps you take running count toward your daily total.
