Confession - I can't figure out my Garmin

[secretlyevil]

I've watched videos, I've read the instructions what feels like 10,000 times. I feel very dumb. All I want to do is set up a 4/1 interval for a  period of time on my 410. Please tell me there is some secret Garmins for dummies out there on the web I just haven't come across. Man I feel like a morAn.

Have you looked at the tutorial/review by dcrainmaker? It's very helpful and thorough.

don't feel dumb. I just figured out how to delete my old runs today. and only because my garmin forced my hand and told me it was full. every single mile. for the last 4 runs.

in summary, I am useless to you.

That doesn't sound familiar. Let me google, yup haven't checked that one out yet.

Don't feel dumb. Those things are like entire computers on your wrist with only 6 buttons. I'm always trying to figure something out. I will ditto texassmith and tell you to check out dcrainmaker's blog.

Go to Menu -> Training -> Workouts -> Interval Workouts. It will ask if you want Runs and Rests to be Time or Distance, then for how long. After you enter those, scroll down and it will ask for how many intervals. It will as many as 99, and 1 interval is one Run and one Rest. You can tell it if you want a warm up and/or cool down, then scroll down and Select "Do Workout". Hit the start button to begin.

It's really the ONLY thing I know how to do on my 410 . I tried to make my own course to follow, and ended up miserably lost and short on my run!

Can't you also set it up via garmin connect?

[secretlyevil]

I haven't really been on garmin connect but I thought that only tracked results. If I could do it from the computer, that would be so cool.

Yes

Log in and go under Plan>Workouts>New Workout and you can create programs there and upload them to your watch.

[secretlyevil]

I'm going to try that tonight.

I can't win for trying. The site won't find my Garmin and I have jus done everything to make it so. Ugh!

Ugh! You may want to call garmin, especially if it's new because they may be able to send you a replacement.
