When using a Garmin watch to record your running, there are a couple of recommended settings. They are not mandatory, however, without them the quality of the data TrainAsONE receives can be compromised and in turn affect the quality of your training plan.
Disable Auto-pause
As explained in our FAQ ‘Should I use pause / auto-pause on my watch / app?‘, TrainAsONE works best without data pauses. Consequently turning off auto-pause (where recording automatically pauses when your device detects that your have stopped running) should be disabled.
Auto-pause is not available on all devices, but when it is it is usually located under the ‘Activities & Apps’ Settings menu. From here you normally select the ‘Run Settings’ menu, from which you should find a ‘Auto Pause’ option. Please ensure this is set to ‘off’.
Please refer to your particular device manual if you experience difficulties locating this option. You may be able to find this online at the Garmin Support website.
Disable Smart Recording
As explained in our FAQ ‘Should I disable Smart Recording on my Garmin watch?‘, TrainAsONE works best with the every second recording option. Consequently setting ‘Data Recording’ to ‘Every second’ is our preference.
The Data Recording option is not available on all devices, but when it is, it is usually located under the System menu option. Under here you should find the ‘Data Recording’ option. Ideally, please ensure that this is set to ‘Every second’.
Please refer to your particular device manual if you experience difficulties locating this option. You may be able to find this online at the Garmin Support website.
