Heart rate target zones and alerts

During the setting process, you have the option to use one of the five standard, three custom or a unique heart rate target zone alert for each interval. You may also choose to use no target zone alert. While you run the interval timer, the target zone alert settings you select will override the heart rate target zone alert you set in Configure Mode (see page 36). 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.

Interval Mode tips & tricks

You can set the Watch to take a split when an interval ends by using SYNC TIMER & CHRONO (see page 40). 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 Ð 175 (in beats per minute), INTVL 2 for 1 minute in Z3: 136 Ð 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.
