I feel quite naked without a watch AND, up side, helps me take HR and respiration! I use a sports stop watch with interval timing to do conditioning sets -- for example, I know it takes me about 30 seconds to canter around the arena, so I do seven laps for a 3.5 minute set.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834098473974912416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751398798342994168.post-63549104435481699432015-06-02T17:51:38.237-04:002015-06-02T17:51:38.237-04:00The clocks in our indoor are never correct, I use ...The clocks in our indoor are never correct, I use my phone for timing and I keep track on my HR monitor for sets.

I forget what the current one is -- usually Ironman tends out to have the cheapest model with the bells and whistles I want. Set the interval timers for trot or gallop sets, use the chrono function to track raw time otherwise, an alarm to wake up early on event or ride day, done. Never manged to kill one, but I do tend to lose them eventually.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12237668899993749427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751398798342994168.post-77757897905224230222015-06-02T15:32:57.812-04:002015-06-02T15:32:57.812-04:00yea i just use my phone in general.... and almost ...yea i just use my phone in general.... and almost never ever time anything (despite lofty aspirations for doing so haha). but then again i almost always have a pretty spot-on sense for a 15min interval...emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751398798342994168.post-85336535094574849852015-06-02T13:33:33.110-04:002015-06-02T13:33:33.110-04:00There's a clock on the wall in the indoor, so ...There's a clock on the wall in the indoor, so I use that if I'm riding inside as a general guide. If I'm outside I have my phone on me anyway for music. But I have to confess, I am really lax about timing my rides. We just work until it feels like a good place for a break, and make sure we end on a good note no matter how long or short the ride is.

It's really annoying and I wish I had something that would just beep or something but didn't require much set up.

I ...Ugh, scheduling was always difficult for me... I always am jamming in so many things and need to stick to a tight schedule. Now that my guy is hurt and not being ridden and is located 20 minutes closer to home, it isn't too difficult anymore... I still keep a tight schedule though...<br /><br />When I used to ride on weekdays, most days I would only allow myself 1 1/2 hours at the barn (not including driving time in that). I allowed myself 20 minutes to tack up, 40 to 50 minutes to ride, and the remaining time to untack, clean up, etc... I am very proficient at the barn... Weekends, I can hang and socialize a little more, but weekdays, I just can't...<br /><br />It was always a challenge... I have a watch on all the time, because I am always on a tight schedule... I actually hate it and told myself to stop scheduling my life like this, but I haven't stopped yet...
