Pace is wrong when there are two activities in one day

Former Member over 4 years ago

If I go for a run and then add a strength training event in the calendar, the pace is calculated by adding the duration of both the run and the strength training workout (!). Deleting the s.training brings the pace back to it's correct value. This affects all reports where the pace (and speed) are shown. What gives?

The general pace includes all activities, and hence it makes indeed little sense. Better use activity-specific pace reports:

Cycling Average Pace

Running Average Pace

Swimming Average Pace

Walking Average…

Do you have GPS enabled for your Strength training?

If you are looking at a report for all activities then ALL activities that got a pace will be used in the report. If you just want to see running or cycling then you should switch to the report for that activity type.

I add the strength training manually. Strength training has no pace, but it does have a duration.

Ok. I did a simple test and added 10 hours of breathwork and my pace went close to zero for that day. So, the report do what it says. It takes all activities and calculates the pace no matter what type of activity it is.

It is a matter of definition if that is incorrect or not. For me I would think that it should only use activities where you actually are moving but at the same time it clearly states ALL activities.

so... If you want to improve your pace, just add a driving activity :)

Took me a few days to figure this out as I am new to Garmin Connect. Indeed this makes NO sense at all. I keep seeing my "average pace" decrease the more strength training I add.
