Motorola Motoactv :: How To Use The Intervals With It

I had an interval workout schedule for this AM...1 mile x 3 times with 3 minutes of rest between. Anyway...i started running and when i got to the 1 mile mark i double click the start workout (new lap). Since i though the interval was broken, i was expecting a new lap to show on the screen (my MA is set to 1 mile laps), but this was not the case...The device told me "new interval *@ pace i set it up*"...i was confused...anyway...after the 3 minute recovery jog i did start a new lap...and behold! i heard a "new interval" message...[removed]!again i ignore the message...i was running my second mile when suddenly i heard yet another "new interval *@ pace i set it up*"... I was like [removed] is going on here...i though this was broken! I choose to ignore...after i finished my second mile i started a new lap...another message of "new interval"...Anyway...i just kept pressing the button to create new "laps" as i planned...when i started the last mile i got a "intervals done" message!

When you start the workout you haven't start the intervals yet. Sounds stupid, but i didn't hear a new interval message after the first mile! Also in the website the 1 lap say i did .22 miles @ 11:32 mpm. The second (recover) i did 3 minutes .44 miles @ 6:52 mpm and goes to the next interval (.63 4:17 @ 6:50 mpm). All the intervals are [removed] like this!So you need to start a new lap after you start the workout for the first interval to kick in! Then the MA will let you know when to start/finish the intervals...you can start a new interval manually if you want (by starting a lap). Just keep in mind that if you have a 3 rep of fast + rest, after 6 "new laps" the MA will tell you are done!
