New To Garmin: Interval Training/Workout - Alert @ Half Way ?

Former Member
Former Member over 5 years ago

Tomorrow I receive my new Fenix 5. 

I like the Connect app's interval training/workout editor. In a run out and run back scenario I would like to know the half way mark so that I can turn around and head home.

Is this possible? eg the entire workout is a mixture of walking and running for 20 mins. I want to be told at 10 mins to turn around.

I am currently using the functionality found under Training/Workouts.

    Years later, I have the same issue. I am following a structured training program and most of my run routes are out and back. So with the training program the times (time based not distance) vary daily. I’d like to be able to have an alert when half of the workout time has elapsed, so I know when to turn around.

    If it is a time-based workout that you cannot edit, you could start a countdown timer for the ½ of the workout time, when you start.

    I guess I could… but it seems a reasonable expectation would be for an alert for 59% time remaining, so I don’t have to manually set an alert or timer each workout.

    Sure, but we cannot help you with that here on the user forum. We can only suggest you existing solutions. It is your choice whether you start using it right now, or whether you prefer requesting it from Garmin through their form at Share Ideas | Garmin and wait (probably a few years) till (and whether) they implement it.
