As long as you know what's up, that's what matters.
Though I'll admit that I was confused by the unconventional usage at first, too.

Ok, whatever works for you... (I still don't get what that "and :41" is all about... )
For some of us dummies (...me, e.g.) the summary numbers for the 4/14 interval workout still look spaced out, but as long as you are happy with it, what the heck, it's your log...

Well, for your workout on 4/14, you log shows your total time as 17 hours 1 minute 29 seconds (17:01:29) on a 3.04 mile run (for a pace of 5 hours 36 minutes, 1 second) per run.
It looks like you entered in the actual intervals correctly as all the paces make sense. But you're entering the total time wrong -- if you want 17 min 1.29 sec, you need to enter 17:01.29, not 17:01:29.
BTW, it's not ms on the timex, those are hundreths of a second. ms (milliseconds) would be to three decimal places.
Note that when you enter in the interval and times (which as I said you appeared to do correctly), you can click on the check boxes to have the log Auto-sum your times and distances for you. |

Ahhhh, thanks for clarifying that. I'll go fix that. Once again, thanks!
Okay, I feel like a total and complete asshat now.. I think I fixed it though..  |

I see that you fixed that decimal issue, but something's still wrong. What does the 17:01 time represent? Your total workout time was 35:48. 17:01 gives a pace of 5:36, which is faster than anything you ran.
Try autosumming your interval and rest/recovery times, and I think you'll get the whole workout summarized correctly. |

I hope I did not piss anyone off too much on my quest to be the most anal retentive person ever. |

no worries
the reason some of us even mess with HRM's is because the upload provides data points you can graph out and get anal w/ for amusement, and occasionally you stumble your way into the occasional training epiphany when you see actual performance numbers over months instead of relying on your memory or a log that doesn't encompass all the data in one place - i'm a big fan of taking data over time and looking at it graphically to get a new perspective - what i see when i look at 3-6 mos of pace info coupled with HR for intensity just doesn't come from anywhere else...
oh, that and the fact that once i uploaded the data Polar was kind enough to leave me log space where i can capture comments about the weather and my run, kill two birds w/ one stone |

Quote from deniseismomto3 on 4/12/2008 at 9:22 PM:Here is the thing, is it really too fast if I feel okay whilst running? That is what I am getting confused/stuck on. All those runs in my log that I have as easy- where not hard runs and my tempo runs where faster than those runs-BUT according to my heart rate if I were to run those speeds it would probably have me in the 85-90% range BUT they never really felt that hard. I might just have to have a re-do and find out what my Max Rate really is, I think I am higher than what my hrm is telling me I am. Am I a pain in the ass or what?? I need to find where someone posted a good way to find your max I know I read it here awhile back.. Jill- That is the thing- I really struggled trying to bring my pace down and I really had to focus and needed to keep looking at my monitor on my hrm. Hey- whatcha drinkin' in your cup? 
What that tells me is that your anaerobic system is GREAT but your AEROBIC system needs some serious work. Slow down those runs. I used to be just like you until I started to train by my HR. Yes it's hard at first but after a while you really learn what it means to run easy and to run hard(er).
If you want to keep running for the rest of your life, slow down. |
