3 x 1200m + 2 x 800m, 1 minute recoveries.
Consistency of pace is the name of the game. The total rep distance has increased by 400m whilst the total recovery time is the same as last week, so is more challenging.
For those not familiar with how to programme such a session into a Garmin watch via Garmin Connect, I have created the following video. This is for the Android version of Garmin Connect but should be similar on an iPhone. Note that only the higher spec. Garmin watches can be programmed with custom workouts. If you go to the Training menu on your watch and the first item you see is "My Workouts" then it is likely that your watch can accept custom workouts.
Once the above session is loaded to your watch, select it and press the Start button (usually the upper right button) when you are ready to start your warm-up. Don't press anything else until you are ready to start the first rep. Then press the "Lap" button (usually the lower right button). The first rep timer will begin and you should not press any other buttons until the session is finished and you have finished your cool-down at which point press the Start/Stop button (usually the upper right button) and then save the session as usual. Apart from the first rep which will start as soon as you press the rep button, all subsequent reps will give you a 5 second count down before the rep begins.

(PS of course, if you have 1200m and 800m distances marked on the ground, then that is the most consistent way of doing the session. In that case just set it up using the interval function on the watch as a set of 5 open reps with 1 minute recoveries. Then just press the lap button to stoo each rep when you reach your marker. I will be setting a Zoom exam on all of this in a few weeks).
