Unwanted Pace Alerts when using a Course on an outdoor run

GuyJ 1 month ago

I used the Course feature on my FR265 for the first time today and it worked great. There was one feature however that was driving me crazy. It kept on giving me alerts that I was running too slow. I did not (and have not at any time) setup any pace alerts. I did however setup a max heart rate alert for the run. I did notice that there is a PAcePro section in the course setup which I did not adjust. Just kept the default settings.

Any ideas on how to switch off these alerts and how to debug?

I just spoke to garmin support. It seems that I had setup a goal race and that had automatically created a training schedule for that race and was automatically applying that training program (including pace alerts) to my runs. Hence the low pace alerts. You can stop the system from automatically applying the training suggestions to your runs via the following procedure;

Here are some options to turn off.

Turning Daily Suggested Workout Prompts On and Off

I have just made the change and will test during my next run to make sure that the alerts are gone.

Tested it on Sunday for my long run and the above fixed it! - no more pace alerts!
