Daily suggested run pace question

I'm quite enjoying following the watch's suggestions of what run to do today. Is there a way to get it to remind me what the target pace is during the workout while I'm running? Sure, it tells me off for going too fast or too slow, so I get a rough idea, but if I forget or didn't manage to whip my glasses off in time to read it, there doesn't seem to be a way to redisplay the details of the plan.

    If you are wearing headphones connected directly to the watch, you will get a prompt at the beginning of the/each interval. During the interval, with the DSW, there is no way to recall the target, except eye-balling the value as the middle of the target zone. With other imported workouts, you can review the notes attached to each interval, if they have been set up.

    It was a really long time ago since I tried DSW, but seem to remember the pace gauge (red - green - red) behaving the same way as a normal structured workout pace gauge.

    That is, it briefly shows the expected pace ranges when you switch to another watch data page and back to the Garmin default workout page - with the non-editable data fields, including the pace gauge.

    But, of course, bugs and/or Garmin happen... It might no longer be true.

    Guess I could have done and discarded a 'Dry-Run' DSW from the sofa, but the glorious spring weather lured me out on a real 42 min DSW Base run to test my memory (gotta love the precision there... 42... And it being the ultimate answer, probably).

    Anyways, I do retain non-senile braincells! During the whole run I could switch away from and back to the default workout page, where for the first ca 4 seconds the goal pace was shown in the gauge before turning into current step pace - guess goal HR would have shown in such a scenario.

    To distinguish Goal from Current Pace/HR they use ca half fontsize for the Goal in relation to Current. My old eyes immediately damned them for fools. Why not just prefix with "Goal" and leave Current without comment? There surely is space enough. Then the OP question would have been even less likely to rise.

    Thanks for the answers and the experiment. I had a go too and got the same result: just jog the page displayed back and forward and pay attention. I guess I would have discovered this by accident eventually.

    Hmm.. My Epix Gen 2 doesn't work this way. It does display/prompt the target at the beginning of the interval, but not when I switch screens back and forth.

    Good for you!
