Programming Intervals in 3 sorts of paces

Hallo

I have just bought Forerunner 245 music to skip endomondo. I love to run interval once a week in mix of 3 paces - jog 400m, run 150m and march 50m. How can i program my workout as i do it in endomondo. I mean an order of:

- 1,5 km warm-up

- 4 min walk

- interwal as:  - 400 m jogging + 150 m run fast + 50 m recovery walk [7 or 11 cycles]

- 4 min walk

- 1,5 cool down run home.

I can program only run and recovery in basic mode. How can i do it more fun? in a way i am used to?

Maybe some widget/app you can recomend?

    You can program such workouts either in the Garmin Connect web application or in Garmin Connect Mobile App, look for "Trainings".

    However i can reply a cycle only for two run-paces. If i want to go 3 different paces and repeat them - i have to set them manualy 7 or 11 times what makes even 33 records per workout.

    Do not really understand what you mean, but you can also nest a repeat in a repeat.

    For example:

    1) Warmup

    2) Run at pace x

    3) recover for y seconds

    4) Repeat 2) for 10 times

    5) Recover for 10 minutes

    6) repeat 2) for 5 times

    It is a bit tricky in the Garmin Connect user interface, I admit but possible.

    You can of course have multiple steps in an interval block also: run pace A, pace B, pace C

    I am not sure if i follow. I would like to make an interval as in first post.

    [400 m jogging + 150 m run fast + 50 m walk] x 7 times or 11 times. 

    When i repeat cycle it wants to repeat only 150 m + 50 m or 400 m + 150 m. Never 3 paces all one after the another.

    You can easily do this on Garmin Connect App or web, not on the watch.

    Just like this (in German though, but should be understandable):

    You could create two trainings, one with 7 and one with 11 repeats or just have one with 11 repeats and then decide on the run, to stop earlier by pressing lap button until the cool down to skip the 4 repeats you do not want. But means 3x4 lap button presses.
