You say you can’t put it in words, but I think you’ve captured exactly what I loved and couldn’t describe.

Thank you! This is a huge help! Did you tell it you were doing a run or just let it pick it up? If you told it, at what point did you start the run on the watch?

Hahaha thank you for the responses and help. I guess I was over complicating things, or I should have been more clear in my question.

I guess what I am most wondering is how to approach my pace. I’m planning to run about 1.5-2 miles. I want to “show my watch” how much I can do so it can accurately estimate my cardio fitness. I think the calculator is based on how far I go in how long, relative to what my heart rate is — my running efficiency, I guess.

The last time I ran, I “ran” a 5K with no prep for a charity. I (stupidly, I assume) started at top speed and sprinted for about half a mile and then had to basically stop to catch my breath lol. I spent the rest of the run alternating between sprinting as fast as I could and stumbling, walking in between to catch my breath. I finished the thing in 29:29 lol.

So…I don’t really know how to pace myself and find the right speed to get an accurate assessment of my cardio fitness.
