[Q] 5 seconds PACE field

EnricoAprile over 5 years ago

Hello experts,

I use to run long distances; I set a PACE field to read my "instant" pace... but it shows 5 seconds steps.

For my training is important to know if I'm running at 4:22 instead then 4:18: the 4:20 indicated pace is not-ok for me

The actual pace shows only 4:15 / 4:20 / 4:25.

Is there a Garmin data field (no 3rd party) that could give me the correct pace?

Thanks a lot

With the accuracy of GPS-based "instant pace", you can forget the concept of "correct pace"... If a data field shows you 4:22 it could be either 4:20 or 4:25.

If you want the more accurate pace data, get Stryd, or at least a good footpod.

Dear Garmin,

Having GPS + Glonass + Galileo (!) a 5 or 6 seconds average pace wil surely be better than a 5 seconds steps approximation.

Please, have faith in your hardware, and give us a data field for this.

THANKS

See my Datarun premium datafield for a solution: apps.garmin.com/.../360a26c4-e2bb-45b7-8f97-2694ccf74eef

There are versions with 4, 5, 6 and 7 metrics in one view. See the links on the app page that the link above here links to.
