Preset distance to run on vivoactive 4?

Can you select a distance to run on vivoactive 4? I could on my old Fitbit but can’t find a way to do it on this device? I just want to select either 5K 10K or 5 miles etc - so frustrating

Thanks in advance

You can do this, but Garmin does it differently than fitbit, so it might take getting used to it.

Go to Garmin Connect Web workouts or Garmin Connect app
Create a Run workout
If desired, delete the warmup and cool down
Adjust the duration type to distance = 5k
Save

Either send the workout to your watch using Garmin Express (from a computer) or the Garmin Connect app (from your phone)
Follow the procedure in the manual - vívoactive 4/4S - Starting a Workout (garmin.com)
Once you've completed the 5k distance, the watch will alert you. Note that the activity will not automatically stop at 5k. you'll need to stop the activity and save it at that point or continue on.

I save various standard distances, such as 5km, 10km, 5 miles on the watch so they are always available.
