Custom Workout

Hi,

I've just switched from an apple watch to to a 570 and am 3/4 of the way through a Couch to 5K programme.   I can create a custom workout to reflect where I am in the programme.  Yesterday was a 15min run 3min recover and 5 min run with both warm up and cool downs.

However in performing the workout the only screen I could access during the run were those counting down the various segments, not the wealth of data available if I'd just started a run without the workout.

Am I missing something ? 

  • Hello,

    When I start a custom run work out on my Forerunner 570 it does show your time left, distance and heart rate zone depending of course on what the workout gives you (or what you created), but you should be able to scroll down with the bottom left button to see the data screens you have set for the Run activity profile. I have tested this with a daily suggested workout, my own self made workout from Garmin Connect and then Garmin Coach workouts. You can scroll to find the data screens you have set for just running without following a pre-made workout. 

    If you do scroll on those workouts you are doing and don't see any of these data screens, please upload a video via link to your reply in this forums thread! Or if it is easier, I can email you a link to upload the video to if I have permission to do so. Thank you! 

  • Hi, Thanks.   I tried this out this morning, and yes it works as you describe.  Not sure why I struggled the other day.

    Again

    Thanks
