K5 Gus Feb 2022 9:22am, 16 Feb 2022 4,966 posts	0 K5 Gus About 75% of my runs are hilly trail runs, and I just use Run all the time, so realise my VO2 Max figure is being held down. The reason I don't use Trail Run activity is I have all the screens set up the way I want under Run, and although I could copy that profile to a new one, I'm not aware that you can copy it to an existing one, ie Trail Run. Not that bothered, if I was, I'd spend 20 mins setting up the Trail Run profile with the same screens as Run, but whether my VO2 max says 56 or 59 doesn't really affect how I run or train or race

Steve NordRunner Feb 2022 1:19pm, 18 Feb 2022 1,317 posts	0 Steve NordRunner I have an odd kind of problem. I plan a route and upload it to the Epix. When I want to use it I have the choice of «Do Course» or «Do Course in Reverse». The former shows the route correctly, while the latter shows a series of straight lines not following the roads properly. Any idea what is going on? Is this a bug? You can see if yours behaves the same way from your armchair if you have a course on the watch. Course in reverse not locking to roads Course in normal direction behaving correctly
Sam Jelfs Feb 2022 1:48pm, 18 Feb 2022 1,066 posts	0 Sam Jelfs Thats normal... I never the "do reverse" function, it's useless. Better to go to garmin connect, make a new course with it in reverse, and reupload to the watch.
chunkywizard Feb 2022 2:18pm, 18 Feb 2022 13,423 posts	0 chunkywizard I suspect it might be just routing between course points so it takes an alternate route sometimes. Sam suggestion is a good one, in fact if you made the course on Garmin Connect I believe there is an option to reverse the course there which should make it easy to re-upload
Steve NordRunner Feb 2022 4:20pm, 18 Feb 2022 1,318 posts	0 Steve NordRunner Thanks, chaps. There is indeed an option to reverse a course in GC. This usually works, but it didn't yesterday for an unknown reason. It is the best way of coping, though, I agree, if this is expected behaviour. It is harder work to re-plot it because it can get quite intricate plotting a route for fetchpoint, sometimes, and my ipad doesn't like editing a fetchpoint route either. Having made a route I sometimes want to reverse it if a see a chance to get a hill-climb of 100+ m.

chunkywizard Feb 2022 7:09pm, 19 Feb 2022 13,431 posts	0 chunkywizard You can on old models so I am sure you could do on an F7.
Bowman 🇸🇪 Feb 2022 7:21pm, 19 Feb 2022 1,021 posts	0 Bowman 🇸🇪 Ok great. So when I start a run activity, then I chose a uploaded course. But what next? Start a pacepro as well?
chunkywizard Feb 2022 7:56pm, 19 Feb 2022 13,432 posts	0 chunkywizard Yep, you load the course (and it shows the map) then press start and then below 'do course' is PacePro.
