Intervals

I use the custom intervals setting but ‘rest’ time and pace is included in average pace for the workout, making this data useless. I want to know my pace when I’m sprinting only. Not when I’m resting. Any way around this other than pausing the watch?

Experiencing the same challenges as well. While I haven't found the perfect solution, I usually go to the fitness app on my iPhone post-runs. It gives you a breakdown of your work paces so you can see your average paces outside of rest time. Obviously I know this isn't ideal since you can't see your actual paces while running. I've resorted to calculating my pace in terms of time spent per lap (while running on a track) to keep me consistent.


Hope Apple does something about this soon. Seems like an easy fix.

Hi Weissbrau,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You can remove the intervals you don't want. See how here:


To remove warmup or cooldown periods, tap the More button next to the workout, tap the Edit button in the Custom tile, tap Warmup or Cooldown, then tap Skip. To remove a work or recovery interval, tap it, then tap Delete Interval.


See more about that here: Customize workouts on Apple Watch - Apple Support


Thanks.

Thanks but I don’t want to remove intervals. I’ve set the ‘rest’ to 1.5 minutes. But the watch calculates the pace I’m doing when ‘resting’ (sitting down) then adjusts my overall average pace to give me a meaningless number. I just want to know what average pace I am doing when ‘working’ (not sitting down resting!). Everyone I know who has an Apple Watch (and runs) complains about this yet there doesn’t seem to be a way to change the setting….???
