Show average pace for structured workout intervals

Hi from Sweden 😀🇸🇪☀️

 

I often run structured workouts with intervals (e.g. 6×1000m) created in Garmin, and sync them to Strava. However, the displayed average pace always includes warm-up, rest, and cool-down, which makes it misleading if I want to analyze or share the workout’s true effort.

 

Feature request: Please add an option to calculate and show average pace for selected laps – or even better, average pace for structured intervals, separated from total workout average. This would really improve Strava’s usefulness for interval training!

 

Thanks!

    Hi ​@Chatwin,

    are those intervals marked as laps by garmin? If so, you should see the laps pace in the “workout analysis” section of the activity (it's a subscription feature though):

    Hi and thanks for engaging!

     

    Yes, they are marked as laps by Garmin. So I can see the tempo for these.
     

    However, what I want is an option to show the actual average tempo for just the parts of my training session that I am running (not include warm up and cool down).

     

    The screenshot says 5:18 but if I summarize just the running parts it would be about 4:45

    To achieve that you could use the split tool (that’s on the Strava website only, not in the app) to divide the run into three parts. It’s not as good as your idea but it works now instead of maybe never.

    Oh and I’ve just noticed that the Strava AI does this! Tbh I’m not a big fan of it as it's mostly just stating the obvious, but this is actually useful:
