Charge 5 interval workout - pace/km?!!

I've got a charge 5, just been on an interval workout with gps switched on (and connected throughout)

Fitbit app is fully up to date, as is watch.  I sync'd when back, and can see total distance covered, total time, and a visual of the pace (with different colours to show faster and slower).

However the main table in the app shows number of calories burned during move and rest phases.

Is it possible to show pace per km for the move intervals? I think the output from charge 2 used to do it.

That's what I (and many runners) would like to be able to see, to understand if I am maintaining speed through the whole session (pace/km for each interval)

Have read lots of other posts and think the answer is NO, but want to check.

Thanks!

Stu. @MarreFitbit

@StuR123 you already know the answer. Interval Workout isn't designed for running and pace isn't even one of metrics to be seen real-time so it's not part of the final table either. Fitbit doesn't offer any option suitable for interval running.

Thanks @t.parker, frustrating but I feared it was the case.  Thanks for a speedy reply.  The option did use to be in the charge 2 watch (showing pace/km for each interval), so a bit wierd its been canned for a newer watch.  Ah well...

There were many things canned for the newer watches 🤭 I never found Interval Workout particularily useful due to limitations (whoever designed it never did interval running workout). Only two steps Rest/Move and based on time but not on other targets like distance. Too basic to use it when my running intervals include any complexity (progression, pyramid, strides etc.) and mandatory warmup and cooldown phases.

I've noticed if you look at the exercise details on the desktop/laptop version (rather than the phone app) it shows pace per km for the intervals - however i'm not convinced it's correct - I just did 12 lots of 2 minute running at full pace with 30 second rests at a much slower pace, but the pace per km isn't really showing much difference between the fast and the slow elements - it's like it's showing a blended/average pace across a longer distance/time
