Norm Pacer

Pace threshold intervals by surge-weighted lap power, with a trend bar that warns you before the first hill blows the interval. Long description Norm Pacer is a single data field for riders who pace intervals by effort rather than by raw watts. It shows two numbers for the current lap: plain average power, and a surge-weighted lap power, the "norm" in the name: a 30-second rolling average raised to the fourth power and averaged over the lap, the same weighting the training-load metrics on your head unit use. On rolling terrain that second number is the honest one, because a surge on a climb costs far more than a coast on the descent gives back. Under the numbers a trend bar shows what the last 30 seconds are doing to the lap figure. Fill to the right of the centre mark means you are riding above your lap norm and pulling it up; fill to the left means you are below it. The colour tells you how far off you are: green for a small deviation, then blue, red and purple as it grows. In the top and bottom slots of a round watch the bar follows the bezel as an arc. Both numbers reset on the lap key and on the workout step. The 30-second window carries across the lap boundary, so a fresh lap shows a figure one second in rather than half a minute later. Settings, from the Garmin Connect app: - Label text: replace the default "LAP P/NORM" with anything you like. - Show label: turn the label off to give the numbers and bar the whole field. No permissions, no phone connection, nothing leaves the watch. Powered by LgLab.
