What's New
3.8 Added “Total ascent” metric. Added new pacer time on-top-of-map mode, where the text is black, framed if behind. Can provide better readability on top of colored maps. Layouts updated for all newer devices. Minor fixes. Promotion: See also my other new max font data field App for runners: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/acaa8db6-4387-44ae-9d4c-12168a778667 3.7 For newer devices, the ”L” marker (e.g. “L 4:00”) now also imply a shift to next segment when a Garmin Workout is progressed to next workout step. To allow the Pacer App, with ease, to be used in combination with Garmin Workouts. 3.6 For newer devices, preset 1-8 strings in settings may now begin with a descriptive text enclosed in single quotation marks for ease of remembering them, e.g. ” ’Parkrun’ 5@25:00”. The descriptive text will be shown on the first screen in the pre-run display. 3.5 Added two new data fields supporting Stryd running power (Watt & zone), with time averaging options and zone coloring like Stryd’s own App. Also, current pace is now averaged ~5 seconds for a bit steadier pace reporting, settings reshuffled for easier access to presets, and other minor improvements. 3.4 Distance correction percentage is now calculated and updated whenever a correction by LAP button occurs. Will provide smoother accurate pacing in races. If FIT is enabled, an additional graph will now show progression of applied distance correction percentages. User guide has received a major overhaul for clarity on race related functionality. 3.3 Warm up and rest segments, can now be specified to have no target pace using “-”. E.g. “2 -, 2x(1 4:00; 0.3 -,)”. Pacer time will report “-” while running in segments with no target pace and save zero’s to FIT. Such segment must be ended with a “,” after the “-” so pacer time is reset before the next segment. Ultra runs up to 999 km & 99 hours are now supported. Pacer Time can go up to +/- 10 hours. 3.2 Coloring of HR & Cadence data fields depending on zone is now available, with several layout styles to choose from, see user guide (for newer devices only). Updates and fixes to Venu series and fr245(M). 3.1 Green/red colors dimmed after sunset on new AMOLED devices to achieve higher contrast and lower brightness during night runs. Added support for MARQ 2 devices. 3.0 Major update offering presets for often used training sessions, LAP triggered segments, many new data field options, and more! See new user guide Note that many of the new features require a newer Garmin device. App name changed since a new “Advanced R&T Pacer” is now also available. This new App offers configurable screen layouts with 3, 4 or 5 data fields. Give it a try, see: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/fed825a9-07bb-40fc-b272-17b37af6f6e2 2.7 Changed to less bright/intense colors for devices with an AMOLED display. 2.6 Added Fenix 7 series, Epix (Gen 2), and Venu 2 Plus. 2.5 On devices where the data field is not displayed prior to the run, like Venu and Vivoactive, the pre-run information will now be displayed until 40 meters have been elapsed. 2.4 Added support for Forerunner® 55, Forerunner® 945 LTE & Descent™ Mk2S 2.3 Most touch devices, like Venu and Vivoactive, do not show data fields prior to the run. For these, race information will be displayed during the first seconds of the run. 2.2 An identical copy of the Pacer is now available in the Connect IQ Store. This is to enable two separate full screen data fields, with two different configurations for what data to show in top and bottom fields. Added support for Venu™ 2 & 2S. 2.1 Added support for Enduro™. 2.0 Major update! Support for time duration segments (intervals), repeating intervals can be specified with ease, segment/Lap alerts are added, and max number of segments increased to 20. And a sliding target pace from one segment to the next can now be specified. 1.0 First release!

Really nifty to know with a glance if I am running to plan (and how much I am off) during a race.
Great app, works beautifully, thank you Hr. For the benefit of Vivoactive 5 users, segments can be viewed pre-race/training session on your activity (Run) Data Screens (Connect IQ screen at the bottom of the list). Just make sure to have your watch connected and accessible when downloading the app to your phone as activation is required - for activation just follow the prompts on your Garmin device. Off to a perfectly paced training session now…
Works perfectly. So easy to keep track of pace. I use it for all my races and most training runs. Highly recommend to all runners.
Used it for a sunrise tempo run this morning and loved being able to effortlessly get the data.
