Can we please customize the secondary fields on the structured TARGET workout page

When running a custom structured workout with a target set (HR or pace), the watch shows a dedicated target screen: big metric up top, zone bar in the middle, and two smaller fields below. The bottom-right field always seems to be the lap version of whatever the target is — Lap HR when HR is the target, Lap Pace when pace is the target.

I want to swap that bottom-right field:

- On HR-target segments (e.g. warm-up): show Pace, not Lap HR

- On Pace-target segments (e.g. intervals): show HR, not Lap Pace

Screenshots attached — I've circled the field I want to change.

I've already tried customizing the Run Activity Data Pages in the app — that only affects the regular swipeable pages, not this target screen. Is this layout hardcoded, or is there a way to change it I'm missing?

If it's not possible, this would be a great feature request for COROS — the fitness test screen already shows both pace and HR simultaneously, so the hardware clearly supports it.

Planning a 2-shoe rotation – ASICS Novablast 5 (easy) + Adidas EVO SL (speed). Does this make sense? Any alternatives?

Currently running in Kayano 31s (~700–800km on them). The problem: the Kayanos are unusable at slow/easy pace — legs and knees ache, feels jarring and stiff. But the moment I pick up to 7:30/km or faster, they feel great. So I basically can't run slowly in them, which is a problem since the majority of my training is zone 2 easy runs.

My plan:

- Easy/zone 2 runs: ASICS Novablast 5 — for the cushion, joint protection, and comfortable slow-pace ride

-Speed/tempo sessions: Adidas EVO SL (or EVO SL 2)

I'll try both before buying. Budget is around ₹14–16k per shoe (so ~₹16k is the ceiling, which is roughly what the EVO SL costs in India).

Questions:

  1. Does this rotation make sense for my use case, or am I overcomplicating it?

  2. Is the Novablast 5 genuinely good for easy/slow runs?

  3. Any other shoes I should be looking at in this price range — either for easy runs or speed work? Open to Puma, Nike, Hoka, whatever. Just finding the Puma lineup a bit overwhelming to navigate.

Not an immediate purchase — happy to take time and get it right.

Something not running in the background

I opened the coros app this morning and it gave me a message like "Something not running in the background". It then led me to this page.

Hey y'all. I'm going to both North & South Goa next week. Candolim north, and Colva south. Any cafe recommendations? I'd like to try some good beans.

Used the SkiErg mode via a custom workout (gym/strength) on my Pace 4 for a 4x4 VO2 session. Workout recorded fine on the watch, but it didn’t show up on Strava.

Is this expected, or am I missing a setting? Is there a better way to record SkiErg so it syncs to Strava? Any workarounds or tips appreciated.

I ordered Gel Kayano 30 from Flipkart for 6k last year Jan 2025. I have no idea if it's real or fake.

I did some basic tests with AI and that concluded that they are probably real because there's no evidence so suggest otherwise

My joints and knees tend to hurt when I'm consciously running slow (zone 2) but it's completely fine when I'm running faster for longer periods

Questions I have:

- is that phenomenon common for the Kayano?

- should I avoid purchasing these shoes from Flipkart

- If I can purchase shoes on Flipkart - what steps should I take to ensure they are real?

Need recommendations for shoes as well

1 shoe that can do it all

- budget whatever

- I run 2x week, 1h or 10k+

- 80% Zone 2 runs and rest speed/tempo

- would love a wide toe box if available

Second workout with my COROS Pace 4 (HIIT indoors, Ski-erg, very sweaty). HR starts normal, then either flatlines (~120–130) or drops suddenly during high effort intervals, even when I know my HR is 160–180+

Tried:

- Wearing higher on wrist

- Tightening strap

- Trying inner forearm position (actually worked briefly, then dropped again)

Adjusting mid-workout didn’t fix it.

Is this just a limitation of COROS optical HR in sweat/HIIT, or is there something else I can fix (besides buying an external HR monitor)?

Roasting Date: 5th April, first brew today: 26th April

Absolutely loved it. I didn't even know coffee can taste like that. Not the most acidic coffee I've tried (I like acidity). It's VERY floral. The jasmine smell, note, flavour is SUPER powerful
I'm no expert, but it tastes lovely. I created a project with Claude and gave it all my context and I basically post each coffee on a new chat and ask it for brewing tips. Here's what I followed:
