Pace Graphs of Garmin Coach runs plummet strangely during walking stints

Hi everybody,

I am currently doing a Garmin Coach 5km (completion) plan with Amy. I noticed strange dropouts in the pace graphs, always on the walking parts of the runs. For example in the first image of this post results that I was still for a minute before the last seven minutes stint. But I was walking and didn't stop at all. Sometimes it records correctly the walking stints and on other times the line goes completely flat.

Is it normal? Have I walked too slow without noticing? I am a bit perplexed? By the way I am using a Forerunner 245.

Thanks, but why the blue graph has that hole?

Because the pace drops from some 6-7 min/km when you were running to ~10min when you started to walk

In the laps/phases page it shows that I do 0,10/0,11km in one minute of walking. Medium pace over 9 minutes but on the blue graphs sometimes that isn't well reflected. Like that one minute drop on first image.

You did not post the lap data, so it is difficult to conclude anything reasonable, but since the lap data are typically based on 1km laps, I think it is still very well possible that you walked with the pace of 10min/km during a minute, while still keeping the average pace over 9 min/km

Thanks, but why the blue graph has that hole? The relative lap was at 9,18 mediem pace. But maybe I am reading the graph wrong.
