training display is added to your sport mode.
Repetitions: the number of interval + recovery sets you want to do.
•
Interval: the length of your high intensity interval, based on distance or duration.
•
Recovery: the length of your rest period between intervals, based on distance or duration.

Keep in mind that if you use distance to define your intervals, you need to be in a sport mode
that measures distance. The measurement can be based on mobile assisted GPS, wrist based
speed or from a foot or bike POD, for example.

2. Before you start an exercise recording, press the lower right button to open the sport
mode options.
3. Scroll down to Intervals and press the middle button.
4. Toggle intervals on and adjust the settings described above.
