I'm using a Garmin Descent Mk2 (firmware version 8.20) and today I did a run with the daily suggested workout: "Tempo 50:00@8:30/mi 1:10:00".
When it synced the activity to Garmin Connect it showed a pace target of 8:28 min/mi for the main portion of the workout.
Now obviously that's not a huge difference but why the discrepancy? I would expect it to exactly match.
