New interface for Strava Live segments

After using live segments on my Fenix 5 for a year, I tried live segments on my new Fenix 5 plus yesterday. What a mess! On the tested segment, my PR is 17 minutes, and the CR is 13 minutes (i.e. unreachable for me). But since I can't choose to race PR only, the watch kept jumping between CR and PR as target every few seconds. It was so annoying, that I don't think I will be using Strava Live segments until the option to choose PR as target is back.

Nevermind, I just found out how to turn off "Auto Effort"... :o

It sounds like you’ve got Auto Effort enabled (which I’ve yet to figure out exactly how it works). Anyway, if you want to go back to what you were familiar with before, then:
press Start
select the app (Run, Bike, etc.)
select Options
select Training
select Strava Live Segments
toggle Auto Effort to Off

each Segment is then set to your PR time, but you can go through each segment in turn to change to KOM time.
