Lap Distance and Reset

I've just bought a Garmin 30 after having a 210 for several years. There are two things I can't work out how to do (maybe not possible?). Can I set lap distance to be 0.25 miles (for track training). Also, is there an easy way to reset, again for track training, for instance for 800 reps. The 210 had a reset button which you could hold down easily whilst jogging between reps.

The FR30 isn’t very sophisticated. I think the best you’ll do is use manual lapping. Go to settings: activity options: laps and turn off auto lap and turn on lap key.

Hope that helps

Thanks CW. I thought that might be the case. Perhaps I'll use the 210 for track training. It still works ok but battery life is only about 15 miles now!

If you still have the chance to change out the FR30 you might want to swap it out for something more sophisticated. The 235 is a really capable running watch you can find some good deals on at the moment, or even a FR230 if you can still find one being sold (its to none optical heart rate version which I think has now been discontinued). These have a load more capabilities than the FR30 (which is actually a really nice watch, just more for beginners and people that like set and forgot)
