How to predict race time during activity?

Hello everyone

I'm getting stucked to find a way to show in a data field the race time of a running activity. I will try to explain myself better. In a run activity I can choose a workout, and Fenix knows total distance I've to do. So I hope, using average pace, Fenix can show me total expected time at the end of the workout.

For example if I load a marathon workout in which total distance i s 42.195 meters, when I'm running at 4:40/km of average pace, I would like to see 3:17:00 as total time of the workout. If the average pace change, the global time changes too.

It's about two days I'm trying to find this information, but it seems to be not possibile. Does Anyone knows how to find this information?

Many thanks to anyone who answers.

There are at least 2 datafields that show the expected / estimated total time: GRun https://apps.garmin.com/en-IL/apps/bf56e088-aefe-4fb4-8f16-b2e136b996a9

and Race Screen apps.garmin.com/.../6a30651b…

Many thanks Gavriel

It is a pity, I would say, that Garmin does not include this function as a default.

To know the predicted finish time I've to change my data screen in the running activity to use Race Screen. Just when I had found a set of data fields that met my requirements.

Furthermore, for each run I have to enter the distance before activating the data field, whereas in reality the distance value in many training sessions is already entered at the start of the activity.

did it, you can get it without additional apps. Just prepare a pacepro strategy and run it. Then you will see not only the estimated time of completion, but also the differences to your plan.

Ok, but in this case (I think) you have to preload a gpx file, a course.

What I meant, instead, is that I would like to go out, load a workout of 20km, for example, than run where I want without pre-load a course, and see on my watch the predicted end time based on average pace... Fenix knows distance, avg pace, so can help me and tell me the amount of time needed to close activity based on average pace. I don't think is so complicated to do... But maybe I am wrong...

You don't need a course, just a pacepro strategy, there you have two options, by course or by distance. Enter the distance, indicate the pace that will be the reference point and that's it

but...I checked it now, it turns out it's even simpler.
I start the run, Options, Set a Target, Distance only or Distance and time, and that's it.
The first screen shows me EST Finish Time

Many thanks, I'll try in the next days

I had Fenix 6X Pro since a couple of week, and I'm not skilled.

I've tried to do as you suggested, but the only fields I can see during a PacePro strategy are the ones in the previous figure... No extimated global time...

So try this simpler solution. Open your run activity -> (push the up bottom) -> set up targets -> distance (your parkrun distance) and thats all
