Blank Upper Limit Pace feature for Workouts

Anyone else facing an issue since watchOS 9.2 where when trying to set an Alert for Pace with a Range, the Upper Limit selection duplicates the Lower limit and when trying to customize the Upper limit timing, the time selection carrousel is Blank and it blocks the ability to use the Pace with a Range feature as needed. This is very annoying when trying to create custom workouts with running intervals that require such pace ranges. This was not an issue on prior watchOS versions

I have this too, but I have found a workaround to it, although twice it worked straight away, the other times it took 2 or 3 attempts.


Anyway the work around I am using is to change the pace alert to be a target instead of a range and then set the target pace to be what you want the upper limit to be. Then back out of alerts, go back in, change target back to range and it should have set both the upper and lower limit to whatever you set as the target pace. You can then change the lower limit to whatever you need.


As I said, sometimes it works straight away, others it takes a few attempts, but I have always got it to work


Hope that helps

I’m having a similar problem where the upper range only shows 3’00” to 3’40”. When I try to use the workaround offered by njbicker, when I go back to try to use Range, the lower range only offers a minute and a half above what I had chosen as my target range. I tried restarting my watch but it didn’t change anything.
