Sport specific units?
Would be great to be able to have units as say statute for bike& run but metric for swim as we have 25mtr pools in uk?
Most uk athletes I know run & bike in miles but swim in Mtrs.

At this point, you can change your specific swim units within your workout separate from your overall unit settings. Unfortunately, swimming is the only category we’ve enabled separate units for at this time. Thanks for your feedback.

I will comment here to bring this issue up again. Even if meters are selected as the workout, the total distance on the calendar and the pace display are Yds and sec/10yds. If meters can be selected in the main settings for swimming and then applied to all swimming-type workouts, this would solve the problem.

The swimming update is pretty useless because pace is still worked out in yards, even if you pick metres.
This can't be that difficult to do. For a training app it's pretty important to be able to use metrics you understand.
I would suggest going a stage further and allowing users to fully customise units for any sport. Eg bike distance = miles, bike altitude = metres.

That's correct Josh, but the units are displayed on the workout card in the calendar view in whichever measurement system was chosen in settings. A little clumsy, don't you think...?

How do I change my swim pace to display sec/100m? I can find no way of doing this either globally or in the workout. Except of course changing all my units to metric, which would affect run/cycle too.
Maybe there should be three settings:
Metric - all metric
Imperial - all imperial (possibly called American?)
British - imperial run/cycle distance, metric swim distance and temperature.
It's odd that the "English" setting is not correct for typical use in England. -
