On the other hand, when I get on the treadmill, I often find that when I have double tapped the start/ pause button and started walking, it didn't actually start and my distance covered in my walk is zero. Discouraging news as you wipe away the sweat I can tell you! If anyone can give me a hint on how I know I've really got it started I would really appreciate it. I would also appreciate corroboration or correction that you cannot leave the app and load something else and have it run in the background. Thanks!

What if you decide to do your walking in circles? -- Raul A.
