Feeling the growl again
Honestly, I was on this site for over a year before I started using the log specifically because I got wrapped around the complexity of entering interval workouts. Once I decided to start putting the details in the notes section, life became a lot simpler and I've found the log to be more efficient than what I did before RA.
I'm not sure how one would make the interval feature simple enough for me to want to use it. There are so many variations of these workouts...and creating templates to reuse is cumbersome. Perhaps I am a simpleton as I sort of use a skeleton of the log features.

Consistently Slow
If you set your garmin on interval workouts(training center) it will fill automatically.
Run until the trail runs out.

Who wears a Garmin on interval workouts?
Before I got my new Garmin and started to use the upload feature, I would sometimes enter my intervals in the note field. I run in the mornings and I usually did this on a day when I was rushed for time and didn't have time to go through all the steps to enter them manually. Most of the time, I would go back and enter it but I'm sure there are some instances where I didn't bother. So, something similar to what werdnam is suggesting - where the number of repetitions would autofill - would have been helpful to me back in the day.
