Pace on watch during run doesn't match pace on saved activity on Garmin Connect

Former Member over 4 years ago

Hi,

I have been using Garmin Coach and are running target pace. My watch showed me consistently running for 9:40 min/mile to 9:52 min/mile but when I check pace on Garmin Connect it says I have been going as fast as 8 min/mile and as slow as 11 min/mile. I definitely maintained a close pace and never had to slow down of increase pace.

Does pace on GC normally not match the live pace shown on the watch?

Thanks in advance!

You best look at the pace graph in Garmin Connect at the concerned activity. The watch usually shows the pace average for the current minute (though it depends on the model and the settings - in some cases the watch may be showing the avg pace for the current lap, or for a different time period). Anyway, it is very well possible that the avg pace shown by the watch is more or less on the same level, while when looked at in greater detail, much more important fluctuations can be seen. Check out you pace graph - it should reveal the truth.
