2 miles in 20 minutes is a 10:00 pace
I can do math. I run until I can't and walk. The walking pace is closer to 15 min/mi. My watch is set to mi not km. As another poster asked, yes I can run at a 6:30 pace with relative ease for a short span. I am 6'3". When them legs get swinging I can move. All of my fat is on my thorax. My legs still look like they did years ago. Back in the day, I could run a 5:30 mile any day if the week and a 5:00 if I tried to kill myself
The Garmin does have a heart monitor. I'm not sure how good it is, but I do watch it.
Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I think it's time I add distance and slow down while running. 8-830 is very comfortable, it's just making myself slow down during that first 0.25-0.5mi.

This is an awesome subtle brag. Guys, he started an entire thread just to insert this fact.
You caught that eh? It was worth calling myself a fat arse just to do it.

45 bucks and you can use a ant+ heart rate monitor with your vivo active. Lasts forever too. Helpsychological a lot. I couldn't eep as low pace if you asked me to in high school. I earned as I focused more on running. Heart rate is a great tool. When I get to a point where I want to quit, I usually can look down and guess where my heart rate is. Stay below that and I'm fine to keep going. It takes some work, but I can keep my heart rate in a good place and run 9-10 minute miles all day if my legs are up to it.

I'm guessing that's a separate device? I need to read more about heart rate and running. I've honestly never thought about it. Thanks

Yeah, it's a chest strap

Garmin and TomTom watches have GPS that break down your run afterwards.
Just start a run on your watch, run, and stop it. It'll tell you average mile, each splits, fastest mile etc.
No, I'm talking about how you track HIIT times. Are you glancing down at your watch during the 60 second run and also on the 120 second walk? Seems difficult, especially on the run which is supposed to be at or near full exertion, if I understand HIIT correctly.

I have a quarter mile distance alert on my watch. I do a "sprint" for a quarter mile and it buzzes. Then I walk. Just pay attention to the time when walking. Hit lap again after the rest and do another quarater mile.
You can set up time or distance alerts

Run sprints.

He might still be too heavy to incorporate sprints. He's going to be bent over gasping for breath when he should be walking in between. He needs to interval his pace for sure to gain stamina but going from a slow jog to a sprint for a fat guy isn't the best idea.
He'd be better off doing quarters and increasing and decreasing the pace for each quarter mile. One at his 10 minute pace and the next at a 9 minute pace and then working his pace up gradually.

I may be reading his post wrong but is he not 225 pounds? If he is, he isn't too heavy.
