Why won’t intervals work on forerunner 255?

I have workouts programmed in garmin connect pushed to my watch but once I start the workout it doesn’t advance to each interval. I thought it was because the warm up was set to end when I hit the lap button but changing that to a timed warm up didn’t fix it. Tonight I tried using the structured repeats programmed right on the 255 and that didn’t work.

Are you using a chest strap ?

I personnally find it impossible to use my FR255 for interval training without the chest strap. The IR sensor lags too much.

I’m not using a chest strap. I coach and need the intervals to work. It’s very frustrating.

The Gamin HR Dual goes for $50 on Amazon.

You're a coach, you need that !

I don't think a strap is the problem.
I was doing a structured workout yesterday, and it worked fine for me. If your watch doesn't advance to each workout step, I would contact customer support directly
