My Garmin has 4 settings - Run Walk Swim and Other - I set it to 'Other' for walks and they get imported automatically as Cross Training
I sometimes forget to switch back to Run so some of my runs get logged as Cross, but conversely I sometimes forget to switch the other way, so I win some, but lose some

I wish I'd kept my garmin on around Rome. On top of the marathon, we walked miles and miles and I didn't conquer a single zone  (I put in 2 extra runs as well but still not enough.)

That'll be those Romans for you. They were excellent at covering long distances on foot

Interesting reading the wide variety of approaches taken and the rich tapestry of what different folk regard as training.

I've recorded a walk across a road and back from a hotel and claimed two zones. A bit cheeky but I have subsequently ran there.

I've had to be a bit more creative since I injured myself - I don't really run any more but try to make up for it by walking long distances.
Chris - not sure about why you'd add 'all lifetime cycling'? That does seem a bit beyond the aim of the game, maybe? Yes, I'm a zone-grabbing cyclist but I'm not adding stuff I cycled before Fetch even existed; that seems a step beyond the bounds of the game.

Having said that, I imagine we'll all be relegated a position or two when someone inevitably joins Fetch who has just spent the last five years circumnavigating the world

Interesting debate. I go by the rules on the Conquercise game: "Your mission is to visit as many as possible, under your own steam." Doesn't say anything there about the purpose behind the visit.

Just wait until I upload my epic "cross training - rest" session on my fpight back from a holiday in Australia.
In all seriousness, it is a bit of fun and if it gets people out a bit more visiting parts of the world, that is a good thing. I've definitely extended training runs or walks to tag or conquer new zones. I've probably been done out of a zone or two due to misstatement of run/walk swim but so be it. I'm not exactly troubling the leaderboards.
Now training log hexagon chasing, that is fun...

The reason to put a lifetime's cycling in would simply be because it is a big part of my history and my life, and I would like it all to be recorded in one place. I know it is against the spirit of the game, and that is why I haven't done it in the years since CQ was invented.
But if I'm going to start cycling, then I feel as if I want the whole lot.
An alternative would be to show the zones on Google Earth without going via Fetch. I expect I could manage that one rainy day.
