Rosehip Sep 2022 11:55am, 23 Sep 2022 26,532 posts	0 Rosehip The pace pro, or whatever it’s called, on the newer Garmins can have a map put on and thenit uses elevation and you can ask for +ve or -ve split and the mile split paces change accordingly. I’ve played with it for runs around home, but would find it too distracting/stressful for a race

JenHB Sep 2022 8:31am, 24 Sep 2022 1,018 posts	0 JenHB First big race tomorrow using run-walk strategy. Any tips? (I've done a run walk repeat sign on the back of my hydration bladder)
steve45 Sep 2022 9:31am, 24 Sep 2022 5,684 posts	0 steve45 Tips JenHB?! Dear me, difficult. I think I'd simply use a ratio that you found gave you the best pace/satisfactory "comfort" level.
