Pace Gauge For Running

Hi there,

when I was doing a running training plan from Garmin, there was a very useful screen, which was shown during pace repeats workout, it showed the pace range and signaled if I was in/out of the target pace. How can I use it during a regular running workout? I found it very helpful for 400m/800m track runs.

Certainly for me anyway the pace shown on this gauge is different to the pace field - often it reads faster. There are a few topics on that I see on the forum.

Thank you! Will check it out. But just to confirm, if I just start a workout, there is no way to bring this guage?

No because it needs to know a target so it can show how fast you are relative to it.

perhaps there’s somewhere you can set a generic pace target for an activity but I’ve not seen it.
