Rest interval that depends on speed of previous work interval?

Aviatrix

There are two types of interval workouts that I would like to be able to program.

1. Run 400m then rest for the balance of 3 mins, then repeat.  I.e. if it takes me 1:53 to run the 400m, then I get to rest for 1:07, but if I take 2:10 to run the 400m, then I only get 50s rest. Ideally this would autodetect the 400m and then beep me when it's time to run again, but I'd be willing to press a button finishing the lap. I used to do this as a 400m lap followed by a "when I press the lap button" lap, but the FR245 doesn't show me my last lap time, so I can't tell how much to subtract from three minutes, and really I'd like it to do the math.

2. Run some distance, then rest for the same amount of time it took to run that distance. Again I can workaround with a lap button press, but how do I get it to show me the lap time when I finish the lap?

    1. I have a Connect IQ app that can help with this: AppBuilder 5

    Use the following settings:

    - Label: Rest Time

    - Formula: 180 - lastlap(laptime) - laptime

    (laptime is in seconds)

    - Display Format: Time

    This will count down from 3 min minus your last lap time, in minutes and seconds.

    You can also have the data field beep/vibrate (based on your beep/vibe system settings) when the timer reaches 0.

    - Formula: setv(0, 180 - lastlap(laptime) - lastlaptime); alert(getv(0) lte 0) ; getv(0)

    2. I assume you want to see the last lap time in a datafield and have it count down to 0

    You can also use AppBuilder 5, with the following settings:

    - Label: Rest Time

    - Formula: lastlap(laptime) - laptime

    - Display Format: Time

    If you want it to alert you with a beep/vibe, you can use this formula:

    - Formula: setv(0, lastlap(laptime) - lastlaptime); alert(getv(0) lte 0) ; getv(0)

    Oh that's amazing! I had no idea one could give it formulae. I will have so much fun building custom workouts now. Thank you.
