RACE PACE

The race pace feature helps you to keep a steady pace and achieve your target time for a set distance. Define a target
time for the distance - 45 minutes for a 10k run for example and follow how far behind or ahead you are compared to
your pre-set target.
Race pace can be set on your watch, or you can also set a Race Pace target in the Flow web service or app, and sync it
to your watch.
If you have scheduled race pace target for that day, your watch suggests you to start it when entering pre-training
mode.

HILL SPLITTER™

Hill Splitter™ tells you how you performed on the uphill and downhill sections of your session. Hill Splitter™
automatically detects all uphills and downhills by using your GPS-based speed and distance, and barometric altitude
data. It shows you detailed insights into your performance, such as distance, speed, ascent and descent, for every
detected hill on your course. You get data about the elevation profile of your training session, and you can compare hill
stats between different sessions. Detailed information about each hill is recorded automatically, no need to take laps
manually.
Hill Splitter adapts to the terrain in each session. In practice this means that when doing a session in relatively flat
terrain, even small hills are counted. Then again when training in areas with large variation in elevation such as
mountains, the smallest hills are not counted. This adaptation is always session specific.
The minimum ascent or descent counted as a hill differs depending on your sport profile. In downhill sports
(snowboarding, downhill skiing, backcountry skiing and telemark skiing) it's 15 meters, and in all other sports it's 10
meters.
