      Hi,
      is it possible to change the Ghost Runner target during an activity?
      I mean, as an example, start with 5’00" pace at the beginning, move to 4’30" after a while during the same running session.

      Thank you

        @becco981 I think you should press the lower button two times in some short time interval, but I never got it to work.

          @дима-мельниченко just tried. It seems that the ghost pace is set to new average every time you press the lower button (lap).

          To be confirmed.

            The mentioned manual lap average pace needs >10s between two button presses afaik

              Maybe on a future update it would be possible to be able to set the time target in 1 minute increments? 5 minute increment targets are kind of hopeless if you are shooting for say a 5km or 10km PB, for example one of my goals is to run a sub 20min 5km but I only have 15 or 20 as time options? Guess I’d just have to set the Ghost Runner to a distance instead of time based target?

              I admit I haven’t yet played around with it much, this is just what I am initially finding so please correct me if I’m being dumb 😳

                @miniforklift in general I would also like the ability to enter any number as target (target is something that was there before the ghost runner though). Although in your case you are running a known distance so I would set that as target, and then use ghost runner to have the estimated time to finish.

                  @isazi That makes sense with regards to inputting the distance. Is it estimating the time to finish by going off your average speed? If it is then I would have thought it would put you nicely in the ballpark with regards to the finishing time - pretty useful to have as a screen during a long race such as an ultra 👍

                    @miniforklift I think currently it’s done using the speed at that instant. In the future it may be reworked a little, so that finishing time is still computed from the instantaneous speed but only the remaining distance is taken into account. All info drawn from the forum.

                      @miniforklift the estimate is a bit rough in the production firmware, but it should work in your case because the distance you are aiming at is short and will be a single effort from you (no stops, no changing pace too much). In the “future” the estimate will also improve.

                        @miniforklift Agreed, I am using this by either inputting the cut off time on a race I was unlikely to finish (typically only 2-5% finish the one I tried) and GhostRunner will tell me how far I will get. Or input the distance for the race and you will see the time it will take to cover the distance, i.e. finish time. I find this quite useful.
