Customize Personal Records

Former Member

It would be nice to add add my own distances for Personal Records. It would be nice to have a tolerance on these Personal Records also, like the Activities -> Filters.

Example:
I would like to add a 5 mile PR and give it a tolerance to 5.0 - 5.1 mile

    Just adding that I wish Garmin would allow us to create our own personal records instead of what they choose. I want to put in a PB for fastest time on a particular course or speed.

    Agreed!
    Wish I could my longest run in time, not in distance... Since my goal is long-term endurance/stamina, not speed.

    I agree, it should be possible to customize the distances for the personal records. Any chance garmin will do this in the near future?

    Agreed it would be nice to be able to have customised PR distances - in the UK 5 mile, 10 Mile races are common and it's frustrating not being able to record PB's for those. However I think apps like Strava go too much the other way - it's of absolutely no value to me to be told I've recorded a 5K PR for a 5K downhill section of my 10 Mile run.

    I agree. Is Garmin doing anything about it?

    I actually just created another thread on the same topic not realizing this was here. I hike a lot, and it would be nice to be able to create PR's for most elevation gain, longest hike, fastest average pace, etc...

    As a cyclist i would love to have more than just the 4 PR's that are available now (longest ride, elevation gain, 40km time and max avg. power - which is useless for me because i dont have a powermeter).

    I miss 1k, 5k, 10k, 10miles, hour, 50k and 100k or something like that.

    Custom PR's would be cool too!

    I love the motivation of personal records. But I want more!

    Metric Century and Century bike ride for sure. These are goto standard goals people set out to achieve when biking.

    For running 5 and 10 mile and the time requests above are very intriguing. I would love to compete with myself for 1hr and the record be distance.

    +1 - I am using the "Goals" function for some stuff, but the 3 records possible for cyclists without top end power cranks are not much use. I end up exporting ride by ride into Strava....

    Yes, I agree! It will be nice to be able to add PR for distances like 100m, 400m, 800m, etc. and follow my progression.
