Polar Coach records 28 intervals. After 28 intervals FULL appears in
the display. You can continue the interval training but the intervals
will not be saved to Polar Coach’s memory.
If you store lap times during the warm up phase it reduces the number of
the recorded intervals. E.g. if you store 10 lap times the Polar Coach
records only 18 intervals.
Even though you will not store any lap times during the heart rate
measurement in the Interval training mode, the Polar Coach saves lap
times as follows:
LAP 1
At the end of the warm up phase.
LAP 2
At the end of the interval training session.
LAP 3
At the end of the exercise session.
You can see the stored lap times while recalling the training information in
the FILE mode.
