Example of setting up Garmin for 30 minute virtual race
For those doing the virtual 30 minutes this weekend, here is a useful way to set up your Garmin such that it bleeps/vibrates at quarter, half, three quarter and full time (or you can split it into two halves or eighths, tenths etc using the same process). Here is another video of setting up a custom workout via Garmin Connect to do this. As before this is the Android version but the iPhone steps will be similar. Remember to synch your watch with the app at the end to transfer the session to the watch.
When ready to start your 30 minute race, select the session from "My Workouts" on the watch; select Do Workout and finally press the "Start" button and run like hell. The watch will bleep/vibrate every seven and a half minutes and will stop automatically at the end of the 30 minutes. All you have to do after finishing is select "Save" on the watch.

Hi Richard Unfortunately that model of Garmin is just too old. If it has the manual interval function on it, you could set it up as 2 x 7.5 minute reps with 2 x 7.5 minute recoveries. That way the watch will bleep every 7.5 minutes and stop after 30 minutes. Alan

Alan, I can set workouts on Garmin Connect but my watch seems too old to see on the watch. I have Foreunner 210. If you have tips let me know.
