Using the Programmable
Timer for Interval Training
Overview
You can configure settings for multiple timers
so they perform different count downs one
after the other to create an interval timer. You
can use the programmable timer to create a
sequence for interval training that alternates
jogging with sprinting.
For example, you could configure an interval
timer as shown below and have intervals
A
through
D
repeat 10 times.
