Tracking runs
Activity types
VOY isn't just for running. Pick the activity that fits, and the app adjusts the labels and metrics to match.
Supported activities#
When you start a session you choose one of these. It's shown on your live run, in the explore feed, and on your recap.
| Activity | Live label | Primary metric |
|---|---|---|
| 🏃 Run | Live run | Pace (min/km) |
| 🚶 Walk | Live walk | Pace (min/km) |
| 🥾 Hike | Live hike | Pace (min/km) |
| 🚴 Ride | Live ride | Speed (km/h) |
Pace vs. speed#
Foot activities — run, walk, and hike — show pace in minutes per kilometer, which is how runners think about effort. Rides show speed in kilometers per hour instead, since that's the natural unit on a bike. Distance, elevation, heart rate, and heart-rate zones work the same across every activity.
Scheduling with an activity
You can also pick the activity when you schedule a run on the web, so the countdown and share link show the right type before you even start.
