A surprise running buddy + how to program the Garmin 220 for interval workouts
Yesterday I was getting ready to ralk. {run/walk} and Mike mentioned he wanted to go with me. Is the world ending? This boy hates running. Despises it. You probably couldn’t tell from this pic though.
We found a street that is closed off to cars and went at our own pace. It was really nice to hang with my boy and watch the sun burn off the fog. See that blue poking out in the sky?
Next time we’ll have to bring Bam and let him run free like a hippie.
I set my Garmin 220 to 15 X 1 minute intervals so every minute it beeped and vibrated. It’s one of those features I never thought I’d use, but ended up loving. Who wants to stare at their watch the entire time?
In general, the Garmin is really easy to use. Here’s how to program an interval workout if you are interested:
Menu –> Training –> Intervals –> Edit –> program your workout –> Do workout. Run!
If you wait too long, it will revert back to the home screen and the programed workout will not work. So when you’re ready to start, go to intervals again and press “do workout” then go!
The program starts with a run, then walk. Since it is not in me to follow rules, I start with a one minute walk then one minute run. Rebel, I am.
And to prove the struggle is real…
How do you track your runs or rides? Garmin, app, maybe you don’t?
Do you workout with your significant other or do you guys do your own thing?
