Sweaty Frank Jan 2008 11:23pm, 27 Jan 2008 1,247 posts	Sweaty Frank OK then, the lessons are: - Do not enable the auto-pause function. - Always remember to press the pause button when you stop and start.

I was measuring my run in miles today (as my training plan dictates), but as I'm used to running 10k races minutes/mile means nothing to me. Autolap was still set to kilometres, so I got regular updates as to my pace in a unit I recognised and could compare easily.

Also if you stop and hit the stop/start you must remember to start the stoopid thing...... I got caught out yesterday on my long run when I stopped to retie a lace and wondered a mile (ish) later why I was running so fast and then noted the clock was paused! Doh!!!
Puffing Bertie Jan 2008 6:46am, 28 Jan 2008 6,910 posts	Puffing Bertie I had mine on auto pause at Berlin marathon and cos i lost signal it stoped the time altogether, i lost 8 mins and so went under the finish line not knowing if i had got my goal time or not I did as it happens but only just !
Bree Jan 2008 8:57am, 28 Jan 2008 1,395 posts	Bree Stupid question here ... how do you pause rather than stop/start?
flanker Jan 2008 10:54am, 28 Jan 2008 7,025 posts	flanker Bree, just stop/start it. If you haven't reset the counters in between (by pressing and holding lap for 3 secs) it carries on from where it was.
