Workouts are shown in km instead of minutes

It seems that with the last update workouts that only contain time intervals are still shown in km's on the watch (an estimated km's that is) with no obvious way to change it.

Older workouts do show in minutes. Is there a way to force the workout to show the total of minutes instead of this estimation of distance?

    That is very strange - I just did a preprogrammed workout this morning in time (4x 3min) with a pre programmed warmup and cooldown etc.  Everything was just fine as far as laps and count down of time.  
    Also looked at my suggested run and bike workouts for today from Garmin... both are vo2max intervals based on time.  Everything looks good .

    Okay sorry, I see I haven't really described the problem correctly. The run itself is working with minutes just fine, intervals as well. It's really about the preview only showing km's where it showed total minutes instead.

    Especially the training i'm doing now (aka starting from the bottom) is focussed more on time than distance, so having an indication of the total time a workout will take allows me to schedule it. The app on my phone is showing both, but I just found it strange this behaviour has changed.

    I see - I looked at my workouts for a similar preview of time/distance when you click into each workout.  All of my workouts that are only time based intervals (warmup 10min, intervals/recovery in time, cooldown 5min etc) are shown in time.  All of my workouts that are setup for distance 4km warmup, 5km tempo, 3km cooldown... it is shown in distance.  
    Which all seems to make sense to me.  I DONT however have any mixed time-distance workouts... so can't say much about that.  (i do have one with a distance based workout... but cooldown is "until lap button press".... that one doesn't have a preview of time or distance)


    To me it seems like everything is how it has always been and makes sense , hmm it's not doing any estimated/mythical distance or time conversions.
