🎯 Want to make the most of your Garmin Forerunner 265 on your next run?
In this tutorial, I’ll show you exactly how to set a target time on your watch — a great way to help you stay on pace and focused, whether you're training for a race, aiming for a PB, or just running with a goal in mind.

I’ll walk you step by step through the process, so even if you’re new to Garmin or the Forerunner 265, you’ll be able to follow along easily. We’ll also cover what happens when you hit your target time and clarify whether the watch stops your activity (spoiler alert: it doesn’t!).

Here’s what you’ll learn in this video:
✅ How to access the activity settings
✅ How to set a target time
✅ What to expect during your run
✅ Tips to avoid common setup issues

Just a heads up — the exact steps may vary slightly depending on your watch’s firmware version, but the process will be very similar.

📌 If you found this helpful, give it a like, drop your questions in the comments, and consider subscribing for more running and Garmin tips!
