Pacepro on track profile? Why not?

I’ve sent in the suggestion to Garmin as well, but I’m not sure suggestions really gets looked at.

So I was about to to a longer run on a run track, and realized that you can’t use pacepro on the track profile.

I really like the pacepro feature both to get the distance in smaller bites, and to be able to keep the pace and set it to have a positive or negative split over time and so on.

Seems strange that it’s not possible on that profile.

Any suggestions on how to get something similar?

and @garmin how do your users get a suggestion looked at :)

I am unaware of why engineering excluded Pace Pro in the Run Track APP. Thanks again for taking the time to request the ability be added into the Run Track APP.

I use the "Set a target" function for my track runs, and it gives me my overall ahead/behind time. It's more simplified and basic than PacePro, but it works for me.

No one thought about this?

Any workarounds?

I like the ahead and behind and also get it in chunks of 1km

But maybe “race a distance” or something like that would work as well?

Do you know why

Have you tried using the Standard Run Activity, but actually run on a track? I've never tried it either. I wonder if it would confuse the hell out of the PacePro algorithm? I believe the PacePro locks onto GNSS locations to determine when you reach your next split location not the measured distance from the start of your activity. On a track, you'd be passing the split location multiple times before actually reaching the actual split location. Sounds like an interesting test the next time I'm on a track.

Ok, thanks, I wonder if they read these requests though :)

Thanks that might work, will try next time!

No I have not tried that, might work, but I want the smooth perfect circles and distance from track mode :)

I used this "set target" yesterday, but it was messy, and wrong, or very strange calculation that was not intuitive.

After about 4 km on a 10k it said one minute ahead, but it would take me to goaltime with 2 min ahead.

Then i tried to get how it ment, i couldn't really figure it out.
Sometimes it went to predicted goal time 00:00:00, and then back to something else

I did like the two screens, but the function was a little wonky.
