Pre-schedueled trainings: Timer resets all the time

Hi,

today I made a run from one of the Training Plans available at Garmin Connect.
The training was defined as runnning for 1h in HRZ 3. In this mode there is a timer showing the time remaining for that part of the training.

Today, this timer was constantly resetting. It seems it was about every 10 minutes that the timer went back to 59:99min.
The normal time elapsed timer on the data page worked fine.
I first thought that it adds minutes when you are not in the right HR Zone but this seemed not to be the case.
In prior intervall training 5min run/3min walk etc. I never had this issue, maybe because the times have been too short.

So I was preparing myself to run until eternity to finish this training and after exactly one hour the training switched to the next step as it should do.

Anyone else noticed this behavior? It does not matter that much in the end since I can see the time elapsed and therefore know how much is left but it undermines the purpose of the countdown for training sessions.

I am glad it switched correctly after one hour in the end, otherwise I would be lying in the dirt in the dark woods by now.
  • I had the same behavior and i thing is is related to autolap function that does not seem to work really nicely with the time. I used the training programs and had the same problem (the timer was resetting itself at every lap recorded (1 km for me))until i deactivated the autolap feature. Also be aware that when the timer is counting down, if you pause the watch, it will pause the recording of the activity but not the timer that will still be de-counting time.

    I will test that out, thanks. Mine is also set to 1km, I will check that next time. Nevertehless, this should not happen. I hope this gets fixed next update.
    The pause thing is also good to know, thanks.
