speed vs pace

Greetings;

In Garmin Training Center, there is the option of choosing "speed" or "pace". In Garmin Connect, that choice is removed from the user...not all runners use "pace". I would prefer "speed", and the only way I can see that is to select my activity type to something other than "running". How about some choice? Thanks!

Heartily agree with this. I would also go so far as to want the choice per activity type. Anything I haven't explicitly set can be a default that I choose.

Pace Feature Would be Nice

When I go to the Reports section http://connect.garmin.com/reports I am able to select Speed in terms of miles per hour as a data element, but not Pace in terms of Minutes per Mile. Personally, Pace makes a lot more sense to me than Speed, and I would at least like to have Pace as a data element that could be added to my reports

I'm another runner who does not use pace but speed to monitor my performance! Please allow us the choice and not force us to use pace.

+1 on the pace/minute per mile, i love this feature.

We too want to see Pace in Reports and plan to offer it in the future.

Displaying Pace and Speed for each activity is also something we desire and hope to offer it in the future.

Its good to see some one from Garmin replying in these forums
however

"is also something we desire and hope to offer it in the future."

Sounds as if future features have not even been finalised, we all HOPE that Connect gets much better.

Have you a definitive list of features to be added in the future?

The Future Has Not Arrived!

Well, PACE was not included in the August updates, so ... I guess we keep hoping someone will toss us a crumb.

I'd like this too.

+1 for me too.

Just finished a 10k in prep for the Great North Run. Why is it on my Forerunner 205 I can set my running default to KM/H, but not on Garmin Connect.

Surely Garmin Connect has to offer the same units as the Forerunner otherwise the usability of the software is nill. Until this is added Garmin Connect just remains a tool to backup my Forerunner data.

Hoping this is added to the next update.

I would like to add that it would be more comfortable to have both speed and pace available on the same activity.

I personnaly mainly use the speed to define the "training zone" (which I check afterwards to know if I have to progress or not).

I use pace as a concrete representation of how much I have to progress to reach my next "constant speed" objective.
