[Running activity] Display speed instead of pace information

Former Member over 9 years ago

This post is about running activies in Garmin Connect.

When displaying a running activity Garmin Connect always uses pace. Here in Europe (and maybe in the US as well) runners are using speed (kilometre per hour or miles per hour) instead of pace.

Today I tried the new Android Garmin Connect app. And unfortunately the same problem: running activies are displayed with pace information and NO speed information (on the main and splits pages!)

I short the Garmin Connect request is this: give us (the option of) speed information (km/h or miles/h) with regards to running activities (bike activities already have this!) on the main and splits/laps pages! Everybody can relate to speed, especially amateur athletes who are not training on a track etc.

Thanks for clarifying. Used to be able to switch to display the speed graph in a running activity (and this functionality is still available in the webpage version of connect). I hope Garmin implements this option again as a speed graph would be much more informative and fun to follow for me!

If they removed it, it is not very likely they put it back, unless there is high demand. You may want to speak to the Support directly, if you want that they get some feedback - it is unlikely they would see your post here, on the user forum.

Good point, I'll contact them and suggest anyone else interested in this functionality does the same

Me too, speed is easier to understand.

BTW, the Speed display and graphs are in Garmin Connect since a longer time. All what you need is clicking the button Speed.
