support min/mi paces

[leingang]

First, let me say this is a cool project! Thanks for getting it started.

I am from the USA and we keep paces in minutes per mile. When I imported and scheduled a week of workouts, I noticed that my paces got interpreted as minutes per kilometer.

I notice that the grammar supports miles as a distance, but it seems only min/km as pace. Could there be a way to support min/mi too?

• For instance, if the duration is a distance in miles, the pace could be assumed to be in min/mi.
• Or, the pace could accept a units suffix of mpm or mpk that would distinguish the two.
• Maybe a command-line setting or configuration value that indicates your paces are to be interpreted as mpm

Thanks for considering.

Workaround: convert the pace in advance.

Hi, thanks for your support.

I have just returned from a vacation. We'll figure something out when it comes to syntax of different pace units. Your suggestions sound reasonable to me, I like implicit command line config and explicit notation in CSV file. Maybe we can support it both. I'll get back to this soon.

Thanks! There is also a Garmin user preference for preferred distance units. If that could be accessed by API, it might be the smoothest way.

Do you know perhaps which endpoint of the API provides this?

I investigated this and I couldn't find the API endpoint that provides this and that works, so we'll have to fallback to the initial suggestion - either to add unit of measure in the workout definitions or to add an additional config, or both.
