Paces for Different Distances on Courses

I would like to set different paces for various distances such as for hills or sprints on some courses. Not seeing how to get PacePro to do this as it likes km's or miles. Is there some way to do this within Connect or do I need a 3rd party app? TIA.

When setting up Pace Pro strategies in Garmin Connect, you can change the splits to Elevation Changes, rather than per km, or per mile.

Thanks for that but not just for elevation. I would like to set the pace for maybe 1/2 km and then another pace for 1 or 2 km, etc.

After looking at Workouts, I think that might be more like what I'm after. Would be nice to click on the course map and set the pace but I"ll tinker with Workouts. Thanks.

Workout are indeed better for this. It just requires a bit more planning to make sure that you can do your interval uninterrupted and have the road crossings and traffic lights during recovery.

Don't think it will be as easy as I was hoping. Would like to click along a course and set the pace at each point and have my 945 change the goal pace as I got to that point. At first I thought Pace Pro would do that but I was wrong. Workouts would take a lot of redoing the course to get distances to pace changes. Sounds like too much aggravation especially for multiple courses.

Do it fartlek just hit lap button when you want to run fast and again when you recover. All what you are asking is for the watch to automatically press the lap button for you lol

...and set a pace range.

You don't need a pace range you want the watch to hold your hand

Yeah, that's it. And if I win a lottery, I'm going to hire someone to run on the treadmill for me.
