Workout screen

Hi All,

I created a default workout without any goals (pace, HR, power or cadence), simply: Warm up till LAP press + 10 x 200m/100m + Cool Down till LAP press). Always on model 945 on workout screen during intervals 200m/100m in this case I had 3 data fields: distance remaining, time of interval and average interval pace. On model 955 there are 2 data fields: distance remaining and time of interval only. Average interval pace is missing which is very helpful. Maybe not during so short intervals like 200m, but in case 500m and above it is: must have. Anyone has the same?

PS. I know, I can set in workout a pace as a goal and pace gauge will be visible at the top of workout screen, but it is instant pace which is useless.

So where do you get your average lap pace from as I do not have that option

0 Brychu over 2 years ago in reply to geoff_a

Running -> activity settings -> data screens -> data fields -> pace fields -> lap pace (3rd position, 1st is pace, 2nd is average pace).

Ok I will try this tomorrow on my run it doesn’t mention average lap pace just says lap pace thanks

But in fact it is average lap pace :) Which resets every lap (default 1km) or interval, so you automatically have average lap pace of your lap (default 1km) or average pace of your current interval.

This is still broke 3 months later and you cannot create a custom data field to know knowledge for distance remaining. Very annoying.

Datafield for planned training (from Garmin connect). The pace for training step is real time pace (displayed pace jumps by 5 seconds), but in models before (Forerunner 935...), was displayed AVERAGE PACE OF A STEP.

I have the same problem :( I "upgraded" from a 235 to the 955 and the "workout screen" has only 2 fields instead of three on the 235 and as OP discovered, pace is missing. This is very annoying because I do not want to have yet another screen to scroll through.

Moreover, on 235 the "workout screen" was dynamically changing depending if it was a distance- or time-based interval so one didn't have to manually scroll to a different screen. So a 1mi On interval followed by a 3:00 Rec interval would have different fields on the same "workout screen".

This major omission coupled with the Structured Interval bug (total crash) that I posted about leave a very bad initial impression with CIM just around the corner.

Yes this is very unfortunate! I tried all permutations of Workout Fields (Step Pace, Step Time, Step Duration) and Lap Fields (Lap Time, Lap Pace, Lap Distance) and I still cannot replicate the workout screen of my Forerunner 235. How incredibly annoying that Garmin removes functionality from a super expensive watch.

I can't believe that Garmin still do not let us customise the workout screen and fields. I had step avg speed on my 935 and now it's gone on the 955. Equally I have the sam issues on the Garmin Edges. I really needed to have cadence on the screen but still you cannot do this. I've been using Garmin for 7 years and just amazed at how they refuse to offer this functionality. It wouldn't take much work to do!
