Multi-day hike

I’ve had my 5x+ for several awhile and I’m trying to get better with it. 

My activities include multi-day hikes. I’m pleased with the results, battery life, tracking, etc. My question is on recording methods. 

When I pause at the end of the day, I select “resume later”. The next day I “resume” and make a mental note time and mileage so I know where my next day is expected to end and when, given my average pace and distance I need to go. At the end of the trip, I get a good recording of the entire hike having taken place on the first day. I do want to see the entire hike as a single event, but I’d like to see each day as a separate day. Also, I’d like to start each day at a “zero” so I don’t have to do the mental math of time/distance. (Did I start the day at 13.67 miles and have 9.3 to the camp? Or did the day start at 14.7? I forgot.)

Should I use the “lap” button to start each day at zero? Will that still record the entire trip as a single hike? Will each day show as a separate activity? Is there a better/right way to do what I’m looking for?

Thanks.
