For a marathon it is best to give in a few hundred meters more than 42195 meters (or the equivalent
in thousands of miles). In my experience my Garmin watches display around 42500 to 42600 meters
when crossing the finish line. For a half marathon of 21095 meters, it is often 21250 to 21300 meters.
Use those higher amounts for the distance in the settings!
Pace coloring
As base for the pace coloring you can choose between average pace and the pace required for a
certain finish time. When using average pace for coloring, the datafield observes the current
deviation from the average pace until that moment. Pace coloring based on a certain finish time
requires to have a certain finish time and distance be entered. When you just want to use a certain
pace, like 6:00 per km, you can give 00:06:00 as required finish time and 1000 as the required
distance.
The different colors show how much/little you deviate:
light grey means -10% slower
yellow between -5 and -10% slower
blue between -5 and +5%
green between +5% and +10% faster
red more then +10% faster
purple more then +15% faster
Cadence coloring
This is only available for the FR645m, the Fenix 5x and the Fenix 5 plus series. The color scheme is
based on ranges of steps/minute: 120-153=light grey, 153-164= yellow, 164-174=blue, 174-183=
green, 183-300=red.
Heartrate zone coloring
This is only available for the FR645m, the Fenix 5x and the Fenix 5 plus series. The Garmin color
scheme is: zone1=grey, zone2=blue, zone3=green, zone4=orange, zone5=red. Although this range is
logical for Garmin connect, from grey/blue to red based on the intensity of the run, it visually is less
workable when running. The trouble is that it is very hard, while running in a high HR-zone, to discern
a small orange label from a red one. I also have trouble with it. So I changed it to:
zone1=light grey, zone2= yellow, zone3=blue, zone4= green, zone5=red, above zone5 is purple.
Running power
It is possible to choose power as metric. There are requirements though:
8. you need to have a Stryd footpod (Runscribe had beta firmware in August 2018, that works
as well, but this capability seems to be removed again)
9. you need to have a watch that can connect the Stryd footpod as a powermeter (the triathlon
watches that support bike power meters normally, like my Forerunner 935). The FR645 and
FR645(m) don't support pairing of powermeters
