Pause / break time

vinay_wagh

Many times while running I take small "breaks". During such breaks, I press the pause button and resume the activity after the break. However while looking at the activity (either in Garmin App or on web) I am unable to find details of these breaks.

I would like to:
  • associate the clock-time with each point on the activity
  • identify the breaks and know the time for which I have taken this break!

Is there any way to achieve this?
(If there is a single break, then [elapsed time] - [moving time] gives a rough idea, though not accurate! For more breaks, this will just tell me the total pause time!!!)

Thanks in advance!

P.S.
I have FR-235.

    At start of break press Lap, and end of break press Lap.

    @TrippyZ,

    I appreciate the work-around, but that seems to be disturbing my whole lap calculations... For example, if I press lap button (intending a break) while @ 7.45km, (assuming my default lap distance in 1km), the next lap intimation I get is @ 8.45km. So the psychologically, I am mis-calculating my 8km lap! (Otherwise I will have to keep watching the 8.00 during the run and then press the lap button again!)

    Isnt there a better way?

    I don't understand what you mean. There would be no meaningful lap pace or lap time covering the stretch of the course between the 7km point and the 8km point, because you took a break in the middle of it. You would have an eighth split in the timed activity record covering between 7km and 7.45km from the starting point of the course or route, and then a ninth split covering from 7.45km to 8.45km; the lap alert screen would tell you at 8.45km how long it took you to run your most recently completed 1km ‘lap’.

    There is no way to track a pasive recovery pause.

    If you pause, the watch stops tracking and loging.
    If you lap, the watch keeps tracking all the info (GPS, HR, ecc). And yes, this ruins your stats, because maybe you were stand still at the same exact point, and the watch tracks that you were moving for 2 minutes.

    There is no way to solve that from our site.
    And Garmin is also computing data from Rests (when you program Intervals), then ....

    I also asked about that

    You can't solve that. Neither programing a training, where you can set REST or RECOVERY , steps.
    The problem seems to be, that .fit standard, doesn't allow you to save a parameter to know wich kind of REST it is.

    You could look at the pace graph, it will give you an indication on when you stopped I believe, over time and over distance.
