Can you change your alerts to time instead of distance, BBL?

I have no idea GM :-)

I think I could on my old Garmin which was similar to wearing a small briefcase on my wrist but the new one is large wristwatch size and doesn't seem to have as many functions so I have never learned beyond start and stop! It beeps for every mile but I am not sure if I set it to do that or it just does it.

I've found something called 'run options' which may be the button I need. It looks a bit complicated and being the wrong side (or indeed the right side whichever way you want to look at it) of half a bottle of wine probably isn't the best time to go investigating :-) I'll see what I can do tomorrow

You could use the Run Walk option. See page 3 of this for the steps to set it:

Thanks Duchess. That looks rather complex at this time of night but with the clear light of day (and a clearer head) even I might manage it :-)

You sound as knowledgeable as me Baroness :-) (and I haven't been drinking!)

Just one sub 10 minute mile.
That's all I ask.
You can warm up for an entire marathon beforehand ...
