Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,

Silly question. How do you "Garmin" your intervals. If at all?

yeah, good point. I've only just started getting properly organised with this stuff. Normally I just step out the door, start the watch and run for a bit, then stop the watch at the end :-)

Need to ensure I put notes etc on the logs when I add them. Then compare the interval sessions when I have done enough to start looking at the (hopeful!) improvement.

Thanks!

Are you doing the WVR 10k on Sunday? I should be there (having toyed with the idea of doing a London to Reading bike ride that day, but rejecting it).

Yes Nick I will be. Got Alice Holt parkrun on Saturday morning, followed by a two hour session of Handball in Alton, so not sure what running state I'll be in on Sunday but I will be there :-)

Display showing lap pace, lap distance, lap time, laps. Reset after warmup. Hit lap as necessary. That's how I do.

same approach as Keefy Beefy, except I needed a circular laminated printout of session in hand to keep track where upto and what coming next as well.

is there anyway to adjust the volume of the beeps - I never hear mine :-o so I use Runkeeper on my phone instead but that runs the battery down real quick

RunKeeper drains my phone battery too quickly and the iPhone interface is too difficult for me to manage when I'm knackered. I start the session as soon as I have a signal or when I start running, whichever is later. I hit Lap at the beginning and end of each interval and make notes on the session as appropriate. It doesn't always work but I'm not really all that anal about it any more.

Take off the autolap and use the lap button to record your intervals and rest times over the session

There is also a training mode where you can load up intervals to the Garmin in advance but you would need to know the session before you started to do that.

I assume somebody else has already told you this but couldn't be arsed to read the thread ;)

Got something to say?
