Garmin Workouts are syncing using running power not pace

For my run workouts that are prescribed by pace they are syncing to my Garmin Fenix 7 Pro using running power to instead of pace.

I don’t find Garmin running power to be useful. Please let me use pace instead of power.

Hi @paulrevere4 … we’re experimenting with a feature to enable Styrd users to get running power prescriptions through Garmin Connect. I notice in your settings (Profile) you have the ‘my device supports running power’ checked. Can you please unclick and save and let me know if that solves the issue?

I just did the following:

  • Went to my profile and unchecked “My device supports running power”. I also verified that my “Default running prescriptions” is set to pace (and not power).
  • I then copied a recent run workout to tomorrow “Short intervals - hills” so that it would sync to Garmin.
  • I deleted all of my workouts on the watch and in garmin connect to avoid any confusion.
  • I did the manual resync to Garmin and selected “Prescribe workout by pace”.
  • I opened the workout on my watch. The watch is still giving my intervals using power and not pace.

And I am using just HRM pro strap, and cannot synchronize power to my workouts, doing it always by hand- Power works only for styd?

I have a HRM Pro and power syncs fine for me.

My run yesterday was sent to Garmin with running power targets. I have “my device supports running power” unchecked.

It’s strange, I cannot push workouts with power neither way, having enduro 3 and HRM pro plus.
@bfrostieone @Jack , do you have automatic pushing workouts to Garmin on?

I am also getting a bit of randomness with my prescribed running workouts.
I have it for “athletica to decide”, and it has always given me easy runs with HR and intervals with pace. A few times I have had it give me power and once pace. The fix is to then resend it to Garmin from Athletica but choose the prescription as HR.
Not sure why it has changed. I do have running power box ticked, but it has never prescribed in power before.

Hi @paulrevere4 … we’ve made some changes that should prevent this from happening in the future. Could you please check again for us.

Its working now and prescribing my workout by pace. Thanks!

@Prof Hi, could you look into my accounts what have I set p wrong to recieve only pace workouts when having power for running selected?

Configured in your Connections following these guidelines @ptr7777 Arrows where I made changes in your settings and you can change back if needed.
