Timing "standing recoveries" with Garmin workouts / watches
Was doing a session last night with the club which included 60s standing recoveries, and it occurred to me that I don't know whether it is possible to programme a Garmin to allow it to "ignore" the distance / movement in a standing recovery when pulling it into Garmin Connect and pushing it out to other services.
What I'm looking for is some way of the watch showing me how long I've been standing for in between reps. My usual protocol is either simply to stop the watch at the end of a rep, scroll down to "lap", and then hit "resume" when I start the next rep (and guess / estimate the right standing recovery time).
If I'm doing jog recoveries then that's easy enough as I'll just use a pre-programmed (by me) Garmin workout configured as below (e.g.):-
- Warm up (until lap button pressed)
- 5x (Running (until lap button press), jog recovery (until lap button press))
- Warm down (until lap button pressed)
But if I can't really use this for standing recoveries as that "jog recovery" period will see a daft pace and tiny amounts of movement, even though I do at least get the benefit of seeing how long I've been standing for.
Is there a CIQ app out there that might work for this? Or am I missing something in the way that Garmin handles rest / recoveries. I suppose I'm most interested in how it sends them on to other providers though; I'm no Strava w*&k*r but I do like some of the other repositories of my data (e.g. Runalyze, Fetcheveryone) to accurately reflect the pace of an activity without having to edit out sections of the run.
