On a trail run, it's easy to see the grade adjusted pace (GAP). When running with pace targets from my Garmin Coach on a workout, it will tell me my pace is too slow, but my GAP might be in the target pace range. This is very demotivating to hear "Pace too slow X minutes Y seconds" and look at the GAP and I'm 1-2 minutes faster than that pace.
But on a non-trail run, I think the GAP should be used anyways.
And it should be used to determine the workout execution score.
I can't think of a time that you'd want to not use it.
I live in Colorado. If I was in Florida, I wouldn't care. But a 30 minute run from my house and back is at least 100' of elevation change. There's always a hill somewhere. It gets worse when going to do a trail run in the foothills. 500' of elevation is expected for a 40 minute run.
But maybe some people don't want this and don't care. Fine. Can we get an option to use GAP everywhere possible or opt-in to use it for workout pacing, workout grading, run, trail, everywhere?
I'm on a Epix Pro Gen 2, but I don't think this is specific to this watch model.
