5K COURSE
The 5K Course is limited by time and distance (five kilometers). It responds to
user commands much like the Manual course. You can make changes to the run-
ning belt speed (numeric keys or Speed ▼▲ keys) throughout the course and any
preset incline can be overridden using the Incline ▲▼ keys or the numeric keys.
Note: If a club time limit exists, the course ends and begins the cool-down routine
whether or not you have reached the five kilometer distance.
PREPROGRAMMED COURSES
The incline is predetermined, in the Cross Country, Aerobic, Gluteal, and Escalat-
ing Interval courses. You can make changes to the running belt speed (numeric
keys or Speed ▼▲ keys) throughout the course and even the preset incline can be
overridden using the Incline ▲▼ keys or the numeric keys.
INTERVAL COURSE
The three interval courses on the C966 let you select the rest and work intervals
according to your training regimen. In the 1-3 interval course, each rest interval is
followed by 3 work intervals. In the 1-2 interval course, each rest interval is followed
by 2 work intervals. In the 1-1 interval course, each rest interval is followed by 1 work
interval. You set the incline and speed for the first rest and work interval and the
software repeats the intervals throughout the course. At any point during the workout,
you can change the settings of the current interval by simply pressing the ▼▲ or
number keys. The software remembers the new settings and applies it to the appro-
priate rest or work interval.
Important: If you entered your Age during the Setup prompts and wear the POLAR
chest strap or use the touch-sensitive grips, you can adjust the rest or work inter-
vals to keep your heart rate in its recommended zone. See Diagram 23 on page 38.
To use the interval course, take the following steps:
1. Follow the instructions on page 35, Quick Steps to Working Out .
2. At the course prompt, use the ▼▲ key or numeric keys to select course 12,
13, or 14 (depending on the interval length).
3. Press Enter to proceed to the next prompt. When you finish answering the
Setup prompts, the Interval course begins.
To set the incline and speed levels for each interval, take the following steps:
To program the rest interval, press the Incline or Speed ▼▲ keys to change
1.
the corresponding levels. When the desired settings are displayed, simply
continue working out—you do not need to press Enter. The C966 returns to
the "rest" settings at the beginning of each rest interval until you readjust it or
end your workout.
2. The same procedure applies to specify the settings for the work interval.
The value that appears in the SEGMENT TIME field indicates the time remaining
in the current interval. Each time the C966 changes intervals, it informs you by
displaying a message. When you complete the time limit set for the course, the
automatic cool-down period begins.
