Hello, I have a route that I want to try and stay under 4 hrs on. I have done it much faster than that, but thats what I’m hoping is possible with my current fitness.
I have a friends file that I can use as a pacer, but am struggling to figure out how to do that. Leaning towards just taping a piece of paper with the pace at certain landmarks instead of worrying about the Garmin. Any thoughts?
This is on very rough off-road terrain, so I don’t think any sort of virtual pacer would do it.
Garmin virtual partner is what you are looking for.
You can load the file into courses on garmin connect.
From there you can use their pacer function with a goal time and it should then allow you to save that and upload it to your device.
I was testing something last week with their power profile tool for an event and that allowed me to add a virtual partner but that was on a course I had created right then and there. It called it that pro pacer thing when I loaded up a previous course I had done.
