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
