Multisport running + strenght - lap buton

Helo

I want to use running and strenght training in multisport. Since lap button is changing the sport, how do I start a set in strenght training? Normaly when I use strenght activity I press the lap butoon.

You can set any hotkey to "Change activity", that works fine, but I don't really understand what you mean with "lap button changes sport"....

Like Alan said your best bet is to just start a normal run activity and have a hotkey set to Change Activity so you can switch between running and strength training on the fly. If you use a regular multisport activity there is no way to retain the normal lap button function, it is used strictly to move to the next step in the multisport activity.

Sorry, I completely forgot that the lap button is used to switch activities in pre-defined multisport activities, because I have not used that since I have the F5+. On my F3 that also annoyed me, because I took a lap time, switched to the next activity and there was no way back. This is an improvement which could be easily brought to older multisport watches — but Garmin never does that.

Thank you alan. I didn't know for the hot key option. It works great for me!
