SSWHRB Run Interval setting not working!

Darren_M

@brad_olwin Forgive me, I need to clarify what you mean by this. Am I doing this right?

I go to Running intervals
Swipe down to Intervals and switch it on
Set Repetitions.
Set interval to duration, and alter the time.
Set Recovery to duration, and alter the time
Swipe up and start the activity.

Is this correct?
Thanks!

@darren_m
you miss the last step, after you start the activity.

Start the interval training, swiping all to the left (going to the right )

when you start your activity you need to go to the interval screen and launch it by the upper button.

Damn, not enough fast lol.

Phew!

Thanks everyone. Thankfully it was just my incompetence that was the problem. It’s working fine!

Once the timing complete screen appears? Do I just go back to the activity screen and save there?

Much appreciated!

@darren_m yes. Because when it’s complete the upper button will restart it.

@darren_m
You’re welcome … I must confess that I faced a similar issue at the beginning, waiting for intervals to start automatically
In fact it’s a bit tricky.

then I went back to the old rule … RTFM

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Thanks for your help!

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@darren_m you are most welcome man. Enjoy.

I actually prefer Suntos way of doing intervals. Instead of just starting automatically, one can do a free form warm up before the interval training starts. Most of my workouts are interval based and I really like that you can do several different interval drills in one workout. Just dive into settings and change the times or distances.

@john-lawson-0 Strongly disagree if you allow me.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@john-lawson-0 I strongly agree. I love this. I don’t understand why some people need a dfined warmup.

Also teasing @Luís-Pinto

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Just to anwser.
FACT - 24th MARCH 2015 Suunto launch workout planner for Ambit 3/Run with a integrate solution for people that want to use warm-up or no.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@luís-pinto I dont get it man. Warm up is there already and cool down. What are you talking about? Its marked at your laps table.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@luís-pinto Just hit start and end your intervals.

Noone should really need a precice warmup and cooldown by the second.

The point of the warmup and the cooldown is to be variant.

That said I please you to explain to me what the benefit would be…

Luís Pinto

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos The question is to have option. To have a timescale definied by yourself. If you want define on a program the fields warm-up and cool-down or rest is up to you. The benefit is written is all manuals for running.

Gabriel.S

Let’s debating lol!!
I love the actual way that the interval is implemented, it’s possible to group warm-up, interval and cool down in the same activity.
About the warm-up
When you want to do an interval training, warm-up is advisable by every coach, plan and program.
Body need to be prepared for the effort: Blood vessels start to expand, heart progressively go fast, muscles start to warm.
Try to do a 30s/30s interval training when you’re cold and when you’re hot, you’ll see the difference of performance if your don’t finish injured.
And please don’t tell me than a lion never war-up before hunting a gazelle , we’re not lions and if we need to run as fast as we can for a real urgency we will do it without warm-up.
But if you go for just a run, ok you can skip the warm-up.

IMHO.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

But the case is not about having or not having a warmup but rather programming it. I don’t think lions say 5m warmup guys and then we attack the gazzelles.

@Luís-Pinto still I don’t understand what option is removed or missing ? The automatic start of intervals perhaps ? Because that is the only thing that warmup as you describe it is good for.
