Pace Reminders for Fitbit Surge?

[SunsetRunner]

Hi, I'm new to the Surge community. Is is possible to set the Surge to help you keep a pace? For example, I need to run a mile in 8'30". I would like the Surge to vibrate if I drop below that pace (I know other GPS fitness trackers can do this). I have been unable to locate this function, though. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hey there, @SunsetRunner! Welcome to the Family! A option to keep a pace in your Surge is not currently available. I think your suggestion is an excellent idea and I would like to encourage you submit it as a suggested idea, where members of the Community can comment and vote for it so it can be implemented in a future update, this is the best way to make your voice heard. 

Your Surge has Runn Cues For Free Run, so you can set run cues for either distance or time, it is not the same but it might help. Check your Fitbit.com Dashboard on the Setting > Surge.

 Have a great day, I'll be around!

Thanks for the suggestion! I submitted it and hope it will be integrated at some point. I'm using my Surge for Army PFT training and would hate to have to buy a second fitness tracker for only my runs. I love the social aspect of FitBit!
