If I swing my left arm (watch arm) while riding my bike slowly, will it count it as a run?

I've run about 35 5k's this year so far. This will be doable as long as the weather holds.

If people only realized that running is one of the worst forms of cardio in terms of the wear and tear on your joints (yes, even on treadmills although that is better than running outdoors). Have fun running now, because you will be hobbling with a cane or walker later, depending on how long you make it. There are far better ways to get your cardio in than running. It's 2025, not 1897.

Same! Run a 5K at least 3-5 times a week myself. Can’t wait to get this badge as well.
