It would be great to be input your own options for PRs... I just did a 10 mile race and have a 12-miler this weekend, but can't enter them as PRs! How about every round mile or km distance up to 100?? Thanks.
I really wish this could be done, I have my 10mile Great South Run records, and now that I do ultra's I would love to be able to hold my 40/50/70/100mile records.
I think you should allow users to create their on pr types. I know it couldn't be that hard to do. I run various distances myself including 3k, 8k, 5 Mile, 10 Mile, and 15k if you could not fix it to where runners could create their own pr types at least include all the know race distances.
How hard could it be to just add all the known distances? Probally have them stored in a database table all they would need to do is just insert the full range of distance types. This would only take a few minutes and if they dont have it in the database and its embeded in the page still would be easy to add its not like a lot of extra development would be required. Oh well they probally rarely check these forums anyway only see garmin support rebs every now and then and its usually in the hardware forums.

This would appear to be a trivial thing to add in and incredibly useful. I'm not sure that Garmin reads the forum that much though, I've hardly seen replies from staff to feature requests. It's be nice to get a "point noted - maybe we'll add it" at the very least

(but with this thread being over a year old and no official response, I don't have my hopes set very high)
The whole PR part of Garmin connect is very poorly done due to the manual handling.
If I have two PR's in one run, I can only chose one of those two PR's to be assigned to the run. If I have a 5K PR on a 10K run, I have no option to see how fast that 5K PR is (unless I go in and study the gps coordinates manually).
I can't imagine many athletes self-timing with watches on short track events, but at the very least 5 mile and 10 mile PR options should be available, since these are common road race distances. In the UK there are official rankings and championships over these distances. As a web developer I can appreciate that there is added burden in having arbitrary user-defined options, but I'm sure it would be trivial for Garmin to include options for all the known standard distances.
