RUNNING WITH A CHRONOGRAPH

The watch’s Chronograph function can record up to 99 laps and 50 split times, with a total time of nearly 100 hours.

WHAT ARE LAP AND SPLIT TIMES?

• Pacing yourself is very important in a running or walking workout. Breaking your workout into small segments such as laps or splits can help you more easily achieve your overall target time.
• Lap time is the length of an individual segment of your workout (usually a repeated segment, such as a lap around a track). Split time is the total elapsed time from the beginning of your workout through the current segment.
• When you “take a split”, you have completed timing one segment (such as one lap) of the workout, and are now timing the next segment.
• This figure illustrates lap and split times for a typical workout in which four laps/splits were taken:

RUNNING A CHRONOGRAPH WORKOUT

2. Press MAIN or tap the display to start the workout.
3. Press DOWN or tap the display to mark the lap and split time ( icon appears).
4. Press UP to scroll through display configurations for lap number, split time, and lap time.
   • HINT: Tap firmly using as much of your fingertips as possible.
   • NOTE: If you are using Target Time (see below), the display will show AHEAD OF TARGET, ON PACE, or BEHIND TARGET, along with any time difference.
5. Press UP or BACK , or wait about eight seconds to return to the running Chronograph display.
6. Press MAIN to pause the workout. Press MAIN or tap to resume, or press DOWN to SAVE or DISCARD the workout data.

USING TARGET TIMES

The watch’s Target Time feature lets you set a target pace and optional target distance for your workout. When you take lap splits, the watch then sounds an alert and shows whether you are on, ahead of, or behind your target pace. Use this feature in a workout or a race to make sure you stay on your target pace.

1. Press MAIN to open the main menu, then use DOWN and MAIN to select SETUP > TRG TIME.
2. Use UP , DOWN , and MAIN to select, enable, and set TRG PACE (target pace), RANGE (+/- tolerance in the target pace), and TRG DIST (optional target distance).

NOTE

• When target pace and target distance are entered, the watch displays the resulting total expected finish time for the workout as TRG TOTAL FINISH.

RUN/WALK TRAINING WITH INTERVALS

BENEFITS OF INTERVAL TRAINING

Interval workouts are powerful tools for targeting and training to improve running speed, endurance, and threshold. Periods of heavy activity such as running interspersed with recovery periods of lesser activity such as walking help you train longer and more intensely. Combining aerobic and anaerobic activity in this way helps you:

• Target workouts for improving speed, cardiovascular and muscular endurance, and other qualities.
• Improve your body’s processing of lactic acid.
• Reduce the risk of injury.

For best results, set up your interval workouts to train for a specific quality:

• To train for endurance, you might set up a classic 1-mile repeat workout: three or four repetitions of a 1-mile interval at about half-marathon pace, each followed by a 1/4-mile walking recovery.
• To train for speed, you might run sets of 4 x 400m: run a fast 400m interval at slightly more than race pace, followed by a 2-minute slow jog recovery, and repeat both intervals four times.
• To train for speed and endurance, consider the fartlek workout (“speed play” in Swedish), which combines periods of fast and slow running.

Your watch’s interval timer can track times and distances for two workouts of up to eight intervals each. Each interval can be repeated up to 99 times.

SETTING UP AN INTERVAL WORKOUT

1. Press MAIN to open the main menu, then use DOWN and MAIN to select INTERVALS.
2. Use DOWN and MAIN to select SETUP, then WORKOUT 1 or WORKOUT 2.

2. Press MAIN to begin timing the workout.
3. The interval timer then begins. The alert sounds at the start of each new interval. Press UP to rotate through the available interval displays.
   • NOTE: Use the Drink Timer to remain properly hydrated through your workout.
