Love the Countdown Face!
The new watch is so pretty! I like that countdown screen.
All I could find was setting the lap to a distance, which doesn't work when my intervals aren't consistently the same distance (eg .75 run & .50 rest). I may just need to dig around a little more. I have completely taken off my AW and don't really miss it. I need to figure out how to control what notifications I see because seeing them all is annoying. But so far, I am happy.In terms of interval pace - have you gotten to the point of customizing data fields? When you go to start the workout, before you actually start, you can tap on "settings" and edit the data fields, so you can have it show lap pace, which I think should be interval pace, but I'm not 100% sure. I do know that when you view the workout in Garmin connect it shows you the time, distance, and pace for each interval.
Mmmm hmmmm. Yup. But I am still dying over your husband's comment on the Minnie shoes. LOL.I think I need a new watch too
Hey guys, remember that one time, about a month ago, I tried to PR my 10k at a race where the course was like 300ft elevation gain for the first 3 miles and I hated everything about it? (But yes, I did PR...) Well in a few weeks there is a race in Vegas that sounds pretty similar to it, but instead of a 300ft gain, it's a 440ft gain in like 100* heat, and yeah, I am totally thinking about doing it. I mean, it's called Running with the Devil, first off. I have to run 7 miles that day anyway. I'll do damn near anything for a medal. And I already know how much a race like this sucks. So why not, am I right?
YOLO!Girl... you cray. I am hot just reading this... and my legs hurt.
That being said.. Go for it!!!
I really feel like my races have a theme this year, haha.This race sounds like a crazy idea.
You should do it.
TOTALLY saw you post it on IG! Congrats! It's beautiful. Also, right?! I gotta do it.LOL! Well, I ordered the watch. ANDDDD I shipped it to my parents' house! Here's to hoping my husband doesn't even notice the beautiful new piece of technology on my arm!
I mean, how many chances do you get to run with the devil? Go for it!
Mine too. So I'll just take one for the team.I’m tired, hot and sweaty with sore legs just reading about that race!
but I took my Apple Watch off and haven't put it back on yet.
A) What does RunKeeper use? Phone GPS? That's sometimes not super reliable.
B) I think there's a setting on the garmin that you have to change for better accuracy. I dont remember what it is. But a settings issue could explain some of the discrepancy.
I remember changing my stride on my Fitbit, but never did it on my Garmin...time to go research. I agree that I think the Garmin would be more accurate than your phone, either way those are awesome paces in the heat you run in!
Yeah Runkeeper uses my phones GPS. But does this mean that all the rest of my workouts on this same track at about the same time have been inaccurate? Maybe I'm not as fast as I think I am?!! Current status: googling Garmin settings....A) What does RunKeeper use? Phone GPS? That's sometimes not super reliable.

It was only like 75* this morning, so not too hot, but thanks!I remember changing my stride on my Fitbit, but never did it on my Garmin...time to go research. I agree that I think the Garmin would be more accurate than your phone, either way those are awesome paces in the heat you run in!
*Cancel google search* Okay, found it and changed my settings, thanks Coach!You're looking for one second GPS. Mine is under settings, system, GPS, every second. It uses no more battery life but collects a larger data file.
As for comparing the two. Were you running on a 400m track from the inside lane? You could always look at which shows you completeing 4 laps per mile at same start and end. More often than not, the Garmin will be more accurate since it should take more measurements per time frame. But GPS does struggle with a track because of the constant turns.
