Run screen
I love discovering new things that help out my runs. At a race expo, I asked a Garmin rep if it was possible to have it do run/walk intervals and give me my mile times and they said no. We'll leave it up to tea rundisney Facebook group to figure it out!
I have been using it and loving it and it's so easy to do.
On my Garmin Forerunner 220:
It auto sets to a "lap" of 1 mile but you can change that too. Here is how to do that:
Just be warned, as I wrote about in my Rosemead 5k recap yesterday, make sure to notice when the vibrate is for your interval and when it is for your lap. I walked extra because I thought it was time for my walk break when it was not.
No more counting how many intervals you need, it is just automatic, every time you go for a run.
Has anyone else used this feature on their Garmin?
