Pam runs
Lip Gloss. Yes I've set Garmin up for the run walk bits. . I picked random 20 repeat intervals so I don't have to alter it each week.

I set mine. The run walk setting on my FR35 is only in 30 second increments, so I usually use the intervals setting. Also, the intervals gives you six seconds countdown to a change, the rw only three. I set it to 50 intervals, as I'm never likely to run out then.

Lip Gloss sorry to hear of your Covid struggles.

I use the Jeff Galloway RW method to allow me to keep going - I don’t use RW for heart rate training.

If you can’t find the right interval on your Garmin but run with your phone there are lots of Apps out there. I brought myself a GymBoss which a lot of the Jeffers use (and it doesn’t impact on battery life when running long distances - a basic one is about £20 on Amazon. Let me know if you want more info.

Take care xxx

Thanks . I have done intervals before but it's been a long time so I must look at my Garmin options.

Will have a look at the gymboss.

I think my Garmin does 15/30/45/60 on the run walk mode and you can set run time and walk times - rather than using the interval running mode.

I’ve got a gym boss Lip Gloss as it means I don’t have to think about it and I can leave my garmin recording distance. Just about to start marathon training using 90/30.

Lip Gloss this article holabirdsports.com explains the difference between run/walk vs intervals on Garmins. The main thing to remember is that run/walk is a kind of alert, which will be on every time you do an activity. An interval is a special type of training session that is activated for one outing at a time.
