Phew!

Thanks everyone. Thankfully it was just my incompetence that was the problem. It’s working fine!

Once the timing complete screen appears? Do I just go back to the activity screen and save there?

Much appreciated!

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 27 Apr 2018, 16:19

@darren_m yes. Because when it’s complete the upper button will restart it.

@darren_m
You’re welcome … I must confess that I faced a similar issue at the beginning, waiting for intervals to start automatically
In fact it’s a bit tricky.

then I went back to the old rule … RTFM

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Thanks for your help!

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 27 Apr 2018, 16:21

@darren_m you are most welcome man. Enjoy.

I actually prefer Suntos way of doing intervals. Instead of just starting automatically, one can do a free form warm up before the interval training starts. Most of my workouts are interval based and I really like that you can do several different interval drills in one workout. Just dive into settings and change the times or distances.

@john-lawson-0 Strongly disagree if you allow me.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 28 Apr 2018, 06:51

@john-lawson-0 I strongly agree. I love this. I don’t understand why some people need a dfined warmup.

Also teasing @Luís-Pinto

Luís Pinto · 28 Apr 2018, 07:42

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Just to anwser.
FACT - 24th MARCH 2015 Suunto launch workout planner for Ambit 3/Run with a integrate solution for people that want to use warm-up or no.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 28 Apr 2018, 07:45

@luís-pinto I dont get it man. Warm up is there already and cool down. What are you talking about? Its marked at your laps table.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 28 Apr 2018, 07:46

@luís-pinto Just hit start and end your intervals.

Noone should really need a precice warmup and cooldown by the second.

The point of the warmup and the cooldown is to be variant.

That said I please you to explain to me what the benefit would be…

Luís Pinto · 28 Apr 2018, 07:53

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos The question is to have option. To have a timescale definied by yourself. If you want define on a program the fields warm-up and cool-down or rest is up to you. The benefit is written is all manuals for running.

Gabriel.S · 28 Apr 2018, 08:01

Let’s debating lol!!
I love the actual way that the interval is implemented, it’s possible to group warm-up, interval and cool down in the same activity.
About the warm-up
When you want to do an interval training, warm-up is advisable by every coach, plan and program.
Body need to be prepared for the effort: Blood vessels start to expand, heart progressively go fast, muscles start to warm.
Try to do a 30s/30s interval training when you’re cold and when you’re hot, you’ll see the difference of performance if your don’t finish injured.
And please don’t tell me than a lion never war-up before hunting a gazelle , we’re not lions and if we need to run as fast as we can for a real urgency we will do it without warm-up.
But if you go for just a run, ok you can skip the warm-up.

IMHO.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 28 Apr 2018, 08:07

But the case is not about having or not having a warmup but rather programming it. I don’t think lions say 5m warmup guys and then we attack the gazzelles.

@Luís-Pinto still I don’t understand what option is removed or missing ? The automatic start of intervals perhaps ? Because that is the only thing that warmup as you describe it is good for.

Sorry if don’t understand your words.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 28 Apr 2018, 09:02

@gabriel-s why a precise warm up is needed.

In short what is the difference:

15 minute warmup and I start the intervals
15 minute warmup and the intervals start automatically

That’s what it’s all about.

I have used all solutions by polar and Garmin and I never liked it when intervals started automatically for me.

It stresses me up, sometimes it does not need to start yet or needs to start sooner.

How would you start sooner a interval session if it’s bound to start at 15m let’s say?

So let me ask:

How do you do your warmup? When you define a 15m warmup do you follow that to the second ? And does 1sec or 1 minute delay for example destroy your warmup.

What are trying to solve here? What does not work ok?
What is exactly the problem? Because in my understanding there is none except @Luís-Pinto request for structured intervals which is completely out of scope here no?

I understand @Luís-Pinto request to have a workout planner or whatever fit him as a user , but still since it’s not there aren’t we now repeating over a non existent problem over a feature that is not available (structed workouts )

Luís Pinto · 28 Apr 2018, 09:30

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I do not want to argue with you about this. It’s off topic. I understand.
My humble contribution to this subject is given in the appropriate place.
I will not disturb your discussion any longer.

Good weekend for all community!

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 28 Apr 2018, 09:33

@luís-pinto hehe

We are nicely debating man. The structure intervals or a workout planner I am missing as well a lot.

Let’s focus on that. That should have all the things you want.

And perhaps something extra : a free slot for free recovery for exmaple. (seeing your description I think is the only thing that is missing if not mistaken)
