Endurance Pro - Trail Pacer
· v2.2.4
About
**EndurancePro** is a Connect IQ data field built for trail and ultra-trail running, for anyone
who wants a pace that reflects real effort rather than raw ground speed.
Instead of showing a "flat" pace that means little uphill or downhill, EndurancePro computes
an **effort pace** corrected for elevation gain/loss, pack weight and — optionally —
temperature. You finally know whether you're speeding up or slowing down relative to your
actual effort, not just relative to flat ground.
### Key features
- **Corrected effort pace** — two modes (Standard / Mountain) with adjustable climb and
descent coefficients, tuned to your own running profile.
- **Pace or speed, your choice** — switch between min/km and km/h; labels, target value,
colorization and .FIT recording all adapt automatically, and you can set your target speed
directly in km/h.
- **VAM (vertical ascent speed)** — customizable zone display, with several display modes
(VAM only, grade %, lap average, or alternating between all three).
- **Weather correction** — a thermo-hygric factor adjusts your target pace based on
temperature and humidity, so heat or cold doesn't catch you off guard.
- **Combinable alarms** — VAM, pace and heart rate, with custom thresholds, vibration and/or
sound feedback, and native watch toast notifications that stay out of the way of your data.
- **Lap tracking** — current lap pace and average VAM, alternating with session averages.
- **Configurable secondary metric** — fatigue, calories, effort distance, battery %, battery
life remaining, Body Battery or thermal+pack correction, on two slots that alternate
automatically.
- **Remaining distance** — to the next waypoint or the end of the course, alternating
automatically.
- **Light and dark themes** — clear, high-contrast icons and readouts in both, for glare or
low light.
- **Enhanced .FIT recording** — effort pace/speed, VAM, coefficients and effort distance saved
to the activity for later analysis in Garmin Connect.
### Configurable right on the watch — no phone needed
Every setting (alarms, VAM zones, pace coefficients, pack weight, secondary metric, display
options, HR zone, battery mode...) can be changed **directly from the watch**, organized into
clear categories including a dedicated Display folder, with a long press on the Up button
during an activity. Perfect for races or long outings in areas with no signal or Bluetooth.
### Available in 6 languages

What's new
## [2.2.2]
**New**
- 4 new secondary metric options: battery %, estimated battery life remaining, Body Battery, and the thermal+pack correction applied to your pace.
- The heart-rate alarm threshold now stays in sync across its 3 modes (Zone / BPM / %max HR) — switching modes shows the equivalent value instead of resetting to a default.
**Changed**
- Alarm notifications (VAM / pace-speed / heart rate) now use the watch's native toast notification instead of a full-screen popup — less intrusive, and visible even on another data screen.
- The alarm menu is reorganized: the notification setting is now a simple On/Off toggle at the top of the folder.
---
## [2.2.1]
**Changed**
- Alarm notifications (VAM / pace-speed / heart rate) now use the watch's native toast notification instead of a full custom popup — less intrusive, your data stays visible, and the notification now appears even if you're viewing a different data screen at the time.
- The "Alarm popup" setting is now a simple On/Off switch (the 3s/5s/10s duration choice no longer applies, since the system controls how long the notification stays on screen).
---
## [2.1.2]
**New**
- Complete rework of the FIT file fields (RECORD/LAP/SESSION) — clearer field set, each group of fields now has its own independent toggle (8 toggles total, Garmin Connect only).
- The FIT recording pace/speed unit is now independent from the on-watch display unit: the display unit can still be changed during an activity, while the FIT recording unit is fixed once the activity starts (phone-only setting, labeled "FIT recording" to avoid confusion).
**Fixed**
- Record-level FIT fields (effort pace/speed, temperature+pack correction, pack weight) now display correctly as time-series charts in Garmin Connect.
- Fixed missing or incorrect unit labels on several FIT fields (%, min/km, km/h, coefficient "x").
- Speed fields now show 1 decimal place instead of 3.
**Removed**
- Removed the redundant global "FIT recording" toggle — each field group already has its own dedicated toggle.
---
## [2.1.1]
**Fixed**
- Fixed a crash (blank "IQ" screen) when switching the pace/speed unit (min/km ↔ km/h) from Garmin Connect.
---
## [2.1.0]
**Fixed**
- Better handling of the pace/speed unit in recorded data and statistics, and fixed related crashes on some devices.
- More accurate, more readable VAM and target pace settings on the watch.
- Improved icon contrast in light mode.
**New**
- New "Display" settings folder grouping appearance-related settings.
- Target speed can now be set directly in km/h.
- Labels automatically switch between pace and speed depending on the selected unit.
---
## [2.0.0]
**Fixed**
- Average pace now displays correctly as mm:ss in Garmin Connect statistics (previously shown as a decimal number).
- Speed fields now show the correct "Speed" label instead of "Pace" when the km/h unit is selected.
**New**
- Full on-watch settings menu — change alarms, VAM zones, pace coefficients, secondary metric and more directly from the watch, no phone or network needed. Access it with a long press on Up during an activity.
- Adjustable large-font display option for better readability.
- Configurable secondary metric with 2 independent slots (None / Fatigue / Calories / Effort km) — pick one metric per slot, they alternate automatically when different.
- Settings reorganized into clear categories (Pace, VAM, Alarms, Coefficients) with simple checkboxes where it makes sense.
