Mile Splits

Would be great if it showed mile splits. I know it shows pace over the duration of the activity, but currently I cannot see a way of easily seeing this info, other than manually working it out.

  • Not 100% sure what you mean - would be good to see a link to the activity

    If you want mile splits then set the watch to auto lap every mile or create workouts with 1 mile laps

    If you are following a workout, auto lap will not work. So, if you were following a training plan, you have no means to determine your time at any given distance when viewing the data in Garmin Connect Modern.

    Pretty big oversight.
  • Again - not 100% what problem you are trying to address if you are following an interval workout say then mile splits are pretty irrelevant. If you want to run 13 miles at 7 minute pace or at a heart rate of 165 then just set up a 13 lap workout at mile intervals and set the alarm boundaries based upon heart rate or pace

    The issue is that when you are following a training plan - like one of the Marathon plans offered through Garmin Connect - and the workout is a run in Zone2 for an hour and a half (or 30 minutes, or 45 minutes or X minutes) when looking at the data in Garmin Connect, there is no way you can determine how long it took you to complete the first mile, the second mile the third mile etc etc etc.

    I would love to be able to compare my times at one, three and five miles. Right now, I have to switch to classic view, the go to the player feature and scroll along to find my times at a given distance. Once they pull classic view, there will be no way to find that data.

    This seems like such a universal metric. Wouldn't everyone want to know what there time was as they passed mile 3 and compare that your time at mile 6 and nine?
  • I see what you are saying now but I can see that it might be problematic to code for as you'd need to be able to provide it in km as well as Miles. Having said that unless your training circuit is of equal difficulty for each mile run it's very difficult to make useful comparisons
  • Thinking more about it you could set up the workout with mile laps each with the heart rate zone set to what you want to train in and then terminate the workout when you reach your time goal. I know its not ideal but it would give you the stats that you want

    I see where you are going with the work-around. That would definitely give me the stats . . . but just loading the workout from connect is soo much easier . . . . although, I could create one work-out for each zone and just use the proper one for every zone run . . . . hmmmmmmm . . . . otherwise I'm stuck using classic view for now.

    Thanks.

    I apologize if the answer is somewhere else, but maybe you guys can help.

    I have the Garmin 220. I am running Intervals (5 min run, 1 min walk). When I upload is there a way to see the mile splits. It seems like you guys are saying no. Correct?

    Hello 110PGL,

    Owners manual page 5.
    Marking Laps By Distance (auto laps) set at 1 mile.

    The problem would be that the 1 mile mark might not be where you want it, like at the end of each 1 minute walk, or whatever.

    The best would be to manually press Lap right where you want it.
