I now use it, but set the distance to be longer but with the same pace. It means I can still use the 'little man' screen as sometimes I don;t like to look at the actual numbers during a race. And like you, i tend to set my pace a second or two a mile faster to allow for deviations from the racing line.

It's behaving as it's designed to, even if it's bad design and you should at least have the option to make it behave the way it did before. Completely agree with you that it's not a nice feature, but it is the way it works

Rick OShay Jan 2008 10:38pm, 30 Jan 2008 92 posts	0 Rick OShay Has anyone seen the training program download on Runners World? I'm in for FLM 08 and have been putting off programming in a very detailed running program to the software/ Garmin. With the RW/Garmin download, you just plumb in your race date, your target time or pace and it creates both a trg prog in the Garmin software, which you can then download onto the Garmin. Top stuff. The site is on: runnersworld.co.uk Sorry if it's old news, but I've just downloaded a pretty good trg plan (that I can then alter on the Garmin software, if required) that will take me upto April 13th.

Does anyone know if there is a way of setting up the display so that you can see the ahead/behind, plus other fields such as distance, pace or time on the same screen?
