So I've been using the Garmin training plans for about a year now and I have a question about what I should be doing during the REST phases. I'm using a HR based training plan and the REST phase during Intervals, for example, usually ask me to get my HR down into Zone 2 from Zone 4. Now here's the question, is it more important to keep running/walking (slowly!) during this rest phase or to stop moving (stand still) to get my HR to drop into the Zone 2 region as quick as possible? Sometimes when I keep moving during the REST phase it takes a good minute and a half to get into Zone 2 (and the rest might only be 60 seconds so I'm not getting into Zone 2 at all), it takes 45 seconds or so to get to Zone 2 even when I stand still occasionally. What do all of you do?
