FAQ

Can I use the Track Run activity mode to record my indoor track workout?
If you are running on an indoor track, please use the Indoor Run mode to record your activity.
The Indoor Run mode will prompt the watch to use a pace-cadence model to calculate distance for indoor running, whereas the Track Run mode requires a GPS connection (which can be challenging to acquire while indoors).
For more information on how our devices track indoor runs, please click here. 
Can I run on the roads and on the track during the same workout?

For users that would like to record a multi-phase running workout on the track as a singular activity instead of multiple separate activities. An example of a multi-phase running workout may look like: (a) running to the track, (b) running on the track, and (c) running back from the track.

Before a user enters the track, the watch will record the segment running to the track as a normal run until it detects you are on the track. The Track Run algorithm will kick in after the second lap. The first lap around the track will be used to determine if you are on the track following the initial normal run segment.

Please note: Once you leave the track, expect to receive an "Off Track" notification on your device. This indicates that the device has recognized a change in your training environment, and will proceed to record that segment of the workout as a Run (rather than continue to track the segment as a Track Run). 

How can I use my device to follow structured workouts?
You can create and follow workouts on your COROS device during activity. This helps you remain focused on the session, and get the most out of your workout. For more information regarding Structured Workouts, please click here.
