Quick issue summary: For workouts like running, the graphical representation of workout target as displayed on the Garmin Connect mobile app and website is inaccurate if there are upper/lower limits to pace.
Detailed issue explanation: I often create workouts with a specific pace target set between two paces. For instance, in the workout shown below, the target for the third mile is between 6:30min/mi to 6:45min/mi.
However, when looking back at the completed workout online and in the app, the target pace is displayed as an average of those two upper and lower limits (6:37min/mi.). The problem this creates is that when I look back at the workout to determine whether I was able to stay in the target pace zone, using the graphic isn’t enough to make that determination. Pace is sometimes on the average line, but (in this particular instance) it generally stayed within the lower and upper limits of the workout I designed.
In fact, the graphic Garmin Connect produces is actually misleading since it seems that any pace between the average of the upper and lower targets and 16:00/mi would be considered within the workout target.
To the team at Garmin: I would recommend the target pace show both the upper and lower limit of the target pace. Something like the edited graphic shown below would be more appropriate. This clearly shows where the limits are on the graph and will enable users to more easily analyze their workouts.
My apologies if this request had been posted elsewhere, but I was unable to find something similar upon a quick initial search.
