Quick question: If my steps are begin tracked by my iPhone and synced with MFP, what happens to those steps when I add in a run? Are the steps from my run double counted?

    The calorie burn is not doubled. The system figured the step increase time is the run and factors them in accordingly. I use a fitbit to track steps and run and it's not double counted
