Recovery calculation starts.
4. The Polar Coach carries out the recovery calculation according to your
settings (Reco HR or Reco TI).
You will hear two long beeps when the recovery calculation is ready.
5. Immediately after the recovery calculation a new interval begins.
Intervals succeed one another.
When the last preset interval begins, LAST appears in the display.
Stop the interval training session.
Polar Coach records 28 intervals. After 28 intervals FULL appears in
the display. You can continue the interval training but the intervals
will not be saved to Polar Coach’s memory.
If you store lap times during the warm up phase it reduces the number of
the recorded intervals. E.g. if you store 10 lap times the Polar Coach
records only 18 intervals.
Even though you will not store any lap times during the heart rate measurement
in the Interval training mode, the Polar Coach saves lap times as follows:
LAP 1 At the end of the warm up phase.
LAP 2 At the end of the interval training session.
LAP 3 At the end of the exercise session.
You can see the stored lap times while recalling the training information in
the FILE mode.
DISTANCE BASED INTERVAL TRAINING
Choose from the following two alternatives:
1. Distance based intervals:
Turn the timer OFF or set time long enough to cover the distance
you use for an interval.
Start the interval training as previously instructed.
Press STORE/LAP/RECOVERY at the distance marks.
Recovery calculation begins.
