Hi,
I have set a goal of running 1,000 miles this year in Garmin Connect (desktop). Is there no way of viewing progress toward the goal in the mobile app or on the Fenix itself?
Not easy, and I don't know of a way to show it on the watch.
But in the mobile app, you could create a Gear item of "2018 Running" with an installation date of 1st January - this should pick up past runs back to this date.
I have got the same wish, a simple widget would do the trick...
