x-axis by distance instead of time

Hi there,
Within the Garmin Connect mobile app, I cant switch the x-axis to distance from time, like I can with the full connect website. Is this a limitation on the mobile app? Or am i missing a setting on the mobile app?

    I agree that this would be a useful facility - in fact, as a runner and cyclist, I'd prefer it as the default. I've generally found that outdoor runners focus on distance, related to known landmarks or mile / km markers in events, and indoor, machine runners focus more on time. GPS devices are more useful to outdoor runners and so I would have thought they'd mainly expect distance based graphs. That allows them to see how fast they were going on a particular straight level stretch or what their heart rate was up a hill at some point on the route.

    Perhaps I'm using the graphs wrongly and they're really useful based on time, but either way it would be nice to have the option in the Mobile App.

    Would be a huge improvement. By the way: the scaling on the x-axis is not consistent. The gaps between the markers in the x-axis don't represent an equal difference in time (especially when doing interval training)

    Is it still no way to change x-axis on mobile app ever today in 2023? Come on Garmin. When I look at the elevation plot and want to check gradient it counts the gradient based on time data and it’s useless.

    Totally agree! Come on Garmin. Help us out so we don’t start using other products and apps instead of Connect
