larkim Apr 2018 4:23pm, 20 Apr 2018 4,472 posts	0 larkim It's a bit of a badly described article though (no offence heaveyweight!). If I was looking at getting a FR35 I'd be reading that as suggesting it couldn't track properly, when in fact when it is used as it should be (i.e. in GPS mode) it would never in a million years record a marathon as being only 17.8 miles long. Obviously, anyone who uses a fitness tracker for running a marathon using steps only (unless they have validated it with stride length measurements or use a calibrated foot pod etc) to track distance would also need their heads examining. Though that doesn't mean a lot of people aren't in the queue for head examinations...
