Hello,
I am doing a Garmin Coach training at the moment.
To get the pace right with my Instinct is near impossible!
Is there anything I can do or is the watch just too bad?
In the attatched picture you can see my heartrate and the pace. It felt like mostly the same pace. This graph does not make any sense to me.
Maybe someone knows what to do...
SO I had a look on Garmin Connect and the Strava Web-Version. They are pretty different. Both pace values go up and down without any reason for that. So there are no corners or so in this part of the track.
Still after the complete halt, the instinct does not catch up for 300m! How am I supposed to get on the target pace with this?
See two Videos of the part where the instinct is really bad here:

You are not supposed to get to the target pace with the graph in Garminm Connect at all 
When you look at it, the run is long time over.
I do not know why you expect that your pace would be constant all the time, and why you think you can reach it within 5 or 10s after a full stop. A running human body is not the same as a flying airplaine or a train on rails, where due to the high inertial mass, and the steady power, you can expect smooth velocity curves. At a running body, propulsed by legs, the pace varies with every step, every stone, even without taking in consideration the GPS positioning tolerance (ranges in +/- 15m at this class of devices).
For that exact reason, the watch averages and rounds the current pace in real-time, so that you are not distracted by the fast changes. Do not expect getting to your target pace within 10s after a full stop. Give it 30s or a minute. Or do no stop at all 
Well I would say I should be even easier to get back to pace for a lighter object but ok.
It is just very frustrating when you consistently check your watch to get to the target pace (not in garmin connect
) and never get it right because once you run fast enough to get to the value needed you are waaaay to fast which reports back 1 min later then you slow down and so on. Just a bad experience imo.
With long easy runs it is not as bad as with shorter faster or changing ones. I never get the pace and even the watch reports different numers on different screens. And I think stopping for my dog should be handeled by the whatch by not reporting bad data for the following 3 minutes. Will see if I can get a refund and try some other devices. I liked the design very much but the training function is just bad.
