Virtual run partner not letting me set pace below 5 min per km

22.22 update 

Damm, Rage

Have half marathon tomorrow and was looking forward to using virtual run partner.

If using watch or connect app, both prevent me setting pace below 5 mins. 

How annoying

    Hmm, I'm on 22.24, and I can set any pace from 2:00 - 15:00/km on the Virtual Partner data page.

    Have you tried using Set a Target instead? If you're running into some weird bug with the virtual partner settings, I wonder if set a target will work any better for you. Besides, set a target is better for races, since it calculates an estimated finish time for you.

    Open the Run activity, hold UP and select Training > Set a Target > Distance and Pace.

    Then select 1/2 Marathon for your distance and select your target pace. In this case I can select any pace from 1:00 - 15:00/km.

    This will give you two data pages which include the same data as the virtual partner data page, and more.

    1st page:

    - Time ahead

    - Running man with target pace

    - estimated finish time

    2nd page:

    - distance remaining

    - est finish time

    - average pace

    In contrast, the normal virtual partner page gives you:

    - Time ahead

    - Running man with target pace

    - Average pace

    Cheers for that Flowstate, 

    Inadvertently, you have provided a ‘workaround’ problem for my bug on 22:22
    By setting pace in ‘set a target’ it remembers it for virtual partner too

    In 22.24 it is not possible to change the pace in the virtual partner at all. Not in the Forerunner 255, and not in the Forerunner 955. Not on the watch, and not in the Garmin Connect mobile app. Also not in the 23.15 beta version.
