Data fields in workout

Former Member over 7 years ago

Hello,

I created a workout in Garmin Connect and started it on my watch. What is the difference between step pace or step distance vs the datafield pace or distance? When I was doing the workout the 2 fields weren?t the same values ie step pace vs pace..

The workout consists of "steps", hence the "step distance/pace" is the average data for that current phase of your workout.

I suppose but if I?m on a run workout and say I?m supposed to hold a pace of 5min/km would I use the step pace data field or the actual pace on another screen?

The "Step Pace" (and "Lap Pace", for that matter) are average values whilst plain "Pace" is an instant value. I hope this helps.

Ok thanks. It?s a little confusing that during a workout that you program in Garmin Connect you can only see step distance or step pace but as a data field in the other screens you have lap pace or lap distance.

If you need to stick to a specific pace for each workout step, try adding a pace range in the GC workout creator. If the workout step has a pace range, it is shown in workout screen.
