Forerunner 935 for track workouts?

Former Member over 6 years ago

So I just bought a Forerunner 935 after using the 235 for a few years, and I'm very happy with upgrade. However, I don't understand what it's doing when I do hard intervals on a track. I've encountered the following behavior:

- The colors become inverted during the interval (I'm OK with this, I suppose?)

- The screen returns to the "main" running screen with my total distance, rather than staying on the lap screen (I'm not OK with this)

I have turned off Auto-scroll so that should not be the issue. I do not have any Strava Live Segments for this particular track.

Does anyone know what is going on?

You turned on auto climb and it's detecting you're climbing and switching screens.

Ah, yes that seems likely. I will disable that next time I do a track workout. Thank you!

Hopefully, that's the fix. However, if that is the case, it seems odd that the watch detects climb during HIIT workout on a presumably flat track. Perhaps worth reporting to Garmin.

colors inverting usually means you are tracking a segment and are "behind" on it...

I created an outdoor track app, and use that. Autolap turned off (I trigger manually depending on the session) and have specific fields on different screens that I use depending on the session. Current pace, lap pace, lap distance, lap time, last lap time etc. I dont care about overall time when in a track session, or total distance. I have a screen that is time based and one that is pace based. I have auto climb turned off, and don't use live strava segments at all.
