To make it perfect make the following parameters configurable:
1. Number of intervalls
2. select heartrate-zone for running and recovery
3. alternative for peselection of duration preselection of distance
An other idea is to implement such an intervall-training in the virtual trainer- function (like GH-505 has). Hereby the runningspeed is taken as parameter while the stress-phase instead of heartrate-zone. The distance to the trainer should be shown on the display
The scenario seems little complicated, especially item2 and 3.
Can you please explain more detail?
for Nr. 2: Define walking (=recovery) and running with the HR-Zones which are defined in the options of the watch. If HR is getting out of selected range -> alarm
Example HR-Zone 1 HR 90 - 125, HR-Zone 2: HR 165-169, Running = HR-Zone 2, Recovery, HR-Zone 1
for Nr. 3.
Instead of selecting 10 minutes for running, define 2 km for running and instead of 3 min walking define 600 m.
The intervall-training with both points looks like this then:
Run 2 km with giving alarm when HR is out of range of HR-Zone 2. After reaching 2 km switch acoustic signal, take "lap"-time and switching to HR-zone1. Pop-Up Lap window with information of pace and HR max (or however Lap-window is difined by user). After 600 m acoustic signal and lap-time and pop-up again, switching back to HR-Zone 2. Again from the beginning and so on.
At the end the series should be saved in Activities with all the information we are used to, like Lap-time, Lap pace.
Totally understand, thanks.
So for interval training, people always setup the distance and HR zone, the timer could be ingored, right?
Or it is better for setting as: Time-HR, Dist-HR?
Does it need to insert [REST]?
