Interval workouts are powerful tools that let you target and train for specific qualities (like speed, endurance, 
or threshold). Interval mode helps keep track of times or distances for up to six intervals and 99 repetitions. 
Intense periods of activity interspersed with recovery periods of lesser activity help you train more intensely 
and for longer periods. Combining aerobic and anaerobic activity in this way helps you: 
•  Target workouts for improving speed, cardiovascular and muscular endurance, or other qualities
•  Speed up your body’s processing of lactic acid
•  Reduce the risk of injury
You should set up interval workouts to train for a specific quality. Two examples are described here, but you 
can create interval workouts to train for virtually any quality using the six intervals and 99 repetitions. 
exampLe of enduranCe workout
To train for endurance, you might set up a classic 1-mile repeat workout: 3 to 6 repetitions of one 1-mile 
interval at about half-marathon pace, followed by a 1-minute recovery period. 
exampLe of speed workout
To train for speed, you might run sets of 4 x 400m: run one 400m fast interval at slightly more than your race 
pace, followed by one 2-minute recovery period, and repeat 4 times.
