That pyramide approach really looks interesting. I think that @dailyrunner was also writing about similar strategy. Maybe you can ask her, how does she measure her intervals. I am going to try that pyramide, too, next week. (i am waiting for my new watch, hope it would support pyramide strategy)
About tracking via the phone, maybe you can just set the alarm sound for all repeatings before you begin the training?
Thanks, I'll try that out. I am also looking for a new watch. Which watch are you getting?
sorry for so delayed answer.
I've bought Amazfit Pace A1612 watch. Actually, my husband chose it for me. I asked him to find something not expensive, that will give me correct altitude and also I wanted watch that synchronize with Strava correctly (which my previous watch had problem).
If you see the reviews on youtube, It has many options, and it is really beautiful, but appeared that this watch hasn't option to set reminder for switching intervals, where you don't have to stop with running. (There is something similar that I didn't try yet.)
Because my husband isn't so in intervals, he thought that it was not important to me, too. I was really mad. My fault actually, that I didn't tell him know that it was VERY important to me.
I am not going to send the watch back , I like it really. I'll try to use the other option similar to setting for intervals. I'll try that tomorrow.
btw, I see on internet there are some drivers that are possible to connect with the watch, in order to create your own intervals, but I have no idea how to connect them, I'll have to wait until my husband comes from the trip.
