setting warm up/down for C2 Logbook

Post by tohams » March 19th, 2006, 12:01 pm

The Concept2 Logbook 1.803 allows for inclusion of warm up/down time. How do you set the PM3 for warm up/down time so that it's included as such? I've tried doing a Just Row for a warm up, but the Logbook saw it as a separate row, not as a warm up.

Thanks!

You can do it as a variable interval session. Just set the warm-up as one interval, then the piece as another, then your warm-down as a third, all with 0:00 rest. This will capture all the meters and individual times. Only snag is your average HR and SR data will reflect the warm-up/down as well as the training session, if you care.

And just one other tip.. About the HR.

If you want as accurate as possible an Average HR from PM3 reader.. When you set up the distances/times.. see that you adjust the SPLIT length/time to its lowest possible distance/mins.

This would be 1/20th in most cases.

The default setting if you do not adjust it is 1/5th.

As PM3 only takes 'measures' at the end of each split.. On default you get 5 measures.. /5 for Average (they call it average. I call it a Snapshot).

But by doing lowest split setting, you get 20 measures. So then 20 snapshots.. but a much closer to Average is given.. Got my 10k piece to within 1bpm of my actual Polar Watch reading now..
