INTERVAL TIMER MODE

Interval workouts are powerful tools that let you target specific qualities (like speed, endurance,
threshold, and more) and train for that quality intensely. The structure of interval workouts can
be difficult to keep track of as you devote your energy into the actual training. Interval Timer
mode helps you make more effective use of interval workouts by keeping track of interval
intensity and repetitions for you.

BENEFITS OF INTERVAL TRAINING

Intense periods of activity interspersed with recovery periods of lesser activity help you train
more intensely and for longer periods. Combining aerobic and anaerobic activity in this way
helps you:
 Target workouts for improving speed, cardiovascular and muscular endurance, threshold,
or other qualities
 Speed up your body's processing of lactic acid
 Reduce the risk of injury
SETTING UP INTERVAL WORKOUTS
You can customize 2 separate interval workouts. In this way, you can easily target different
qualities without setting up a new workout every time. For example, you could set up one
interval workout to train for endurance, and the other to train for speed.
Each workout can contain up to 8 intervals and can time up to 24 hours. You can choose a name
for each interval, and this name helps you stay on track as your workout progresses; a quick look
