I am sharing my experience of failure.

I accidentally clicked the button twice in garmin connect to push the Pace strategy to the watch.

So, two identical Pace strategies were created on the watch.
At the time, I didn't know how to delete one, so I just ran with it.

Then, I turned on the Pace Pro, ran, and succeeded.
However, I originally had to run 5km, but to easily get the badge, I set the pace strategy to only 2km.
And, thinking that I had already achieved my 2km pace goal, I ran 5km as is.
Of course, the remaining 3 km were run at a completely different pace.

As a result
1. Create duplicate Pace
2. Instead of saving immediately after achieving the pace, save after running additionally while breaking the target pace.

With these two factors, I failed to achieve the badge.
I think factor 2 is probably the main cause, but I did not experiment by removing the factors one by one and comparing them.
I was able to achieve the badge after eliminating both factors 1 and 2 at the same time.
