Interval Mode tips & tricks
You can set the Watch to take a split when an interval ends by using
SYNC TIMER & CHRONO (see page 61). This will override the
auto split function and allow you to have a record of your
performance for each interval.
Interval Mode example
For cross training purposes, you decide to add a one-hour spin
class to your workout routine one time per week. You decide to
use Interval Mode to help you track both time and heart rate for
your class. You set up WKOUT 1 as follows: WARM-UP for 5
minutes with NO TZ (indicating no heart rate goal), INTVL 1 for
5 minutes at Z4: 156 – 175 (in beats per minute), INTVL 2 for 1
minute in Z3: 136 – 156, INTVL 3 for 10 minutes in Z4 and
INTVL 4 for 2 minutes in Z3. You then set the # OF REPS to 3,
indicating you want to repeat INTVL 1 through INTVL 4 three
times. Finally, you set the COOL DOWN to 5 minutes with NO
TZ. This entire workout takes you approximately 60 minutes and
helps you track both time and endurance goals.
However, the setting for the alert type (AUDIBLE, VISUAL,
or NO ALRT) in Configure mode will still operate while you run
the interval timer. The Watch only ignores the limit settings.
Keep in mind that these settings affect the target zone alert only.
The target zone alert settings used in the interval timer do not
affect the heart rate statistical data tracked and displayed in
Summary Mode.
