how to make a repeat plan but for a given amount of time

Hello, I'm new on garmin connect, I'm using a forerunner 165 watch.

I would like to plan a running workout with some repetition but for a given amount of time instead of a number of times.

For example, I would like to add a 10 minutes warming, then 40 minutes of the follow: 1 km at 5:50 minutes/km followed by 1 minute recovery.

Is there a way to make that kind of plan?

Thanks

I am not familiar with FR165, but to my best knowledge on most (if not on all) Garmin watches with 5 buttons, the Back button is indeed the Lap button, and terminates/skips the current step of a workout…

No, but you can make a workout with 6 repeats of 1km @ 5:50/km + 1 min recovery, which is virtually the same thing

Yes, in that case 6 repeats will be almost the same, but think about other peace, like 5:45 or I need to manually calculate how many repeats do I need.

Is there a way to config a run/recover and then manually add repeats in the training session? I could look at the time spend on that part of the training and manually add new repeat until I reach the 40 minutes.

You can add more repeats than needed, and then skip the rest, that you do not manage to complete.

understand.

I'm don't fully understand the buttons (on my foreruner 165) during a workout. What button do I need to press to skip repeats? it's BACK button?
