Garmin Epix workout errors

Hi, sorry to post this here, but can’t find a thread for the new Epix. I just got my new Garmin Epix two days ago and in two runs I’ve done - outdoor and treadmill - have notice a bug. Main thing I’ve noticed is on my Workouts, that are imported from Final Surge to Garmin Connect and then downloaded to the watch, things worked perfectly on my Fenix 6X Pro, but now my Workout Data Field keeps showing actual pace instead of average pace for that interval (as it should and as it always would on the Fenix), anyone else seeing this happen? Could this be a problem on Final Surge’s end? Also added waypoints to a course, looks great when crafting the map and then totally didn’t work during the run, with Run Ahead super glitchy.

Yep, seen this happening as well.

The change to current pace rather than step pace in workouts has been noted by others and seems an intentional change, as observed by me and others https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/outdoor-recreation/f/epix-2/282955/current-pace-instead-of-step-pace-during-workout. My guess is Garmin now believe the current pace is reliable enough, to not have to resort to step pace. As you can see in the other thread, the change is welcomed by many.

Thanks for the link to the other thread. If done on purpose it is a terrible idea and definitely not reliable - my current pace keeps jumping from 8:05 to 10:25 with me running at the same pace - plus, hills and other areas that affect your current pace for the interval but you try to keep within the average in the previous way. If done on purpose this is a disaster of fixing what did not need to be fixed (at least it should be optional if so).
