Setting up intervals for speed work on your Garmin

Perhaps you’ve heard of speed work. You’re curious about it, but don’t know how to keep track of time. Well, if you have a Garmin, chances are you can create your own interval workout. Here’s how:

  • Hit the mode button.
  • Then, click Training>Workouts>Interval
  • You can select to do your interval reps based on:
    • Distance, Distance Rest
    • Distance, Time Rest
    • Time, Time Rest
    • Time, Distance Rest

You can also include how many reps you want to do AND if you want to include a warmup/cooldown.

The first time I tried it, I set mine up for 3 min run then 1 min rest for 10 reps with warmup/cooldown. Basically, when you have this set up and hit start to begin your workout, you’re in “warmup” mode until you hit the LAP button. Similarly, when you finish your last rep, you will go into “cooldown” until you end the workout.
