Use Run mode when you need to be able to view speed, distance, pace, or calorie data while a workout is
in progress. You might want to view this data to help you build endurance at a specific speed, or to focus on
completing a 5k race within a particular goal time. You cannot view data for your current lap from Run mode.
Run mode and Chrono mode share the timer, so you can switch freely between the two modes while the
workout is running by pressing MODE. Switch to Chrono mode if you want to view lap data.
NOTe: You can take splits in Run mode, but you can view individual lap data only in Chrono mode.
When the timer is running, several types of information about the workout are displayed:
• Workout time
• Distance
• Pace
NOTe: For the most accurate speed, distance, and pace calculations, use the watch in clear weather.

about your workout.
