What apps do folks use for timing intervals ?

[61Lady]

Does anyone know of an audio app where you can pre-set timed intervals - I want to hear it a bit like c25k ? Not coaching but eg. just giving starts and end of 30 sec / 3 min intervals.

I can only find visual ones.

Thank you

I use Runkeeper. I only have the free version, but it allows you to programme your own custom workouts. I don't like podcasts or music when I run, and this was recommended to me early in C25K. I have used it all the way though, and get on very well with it.

It just tells me to go "fast for 3 minutes" and then "slow for 2 minutes" or whatever I have pre-set.

Exactly what I’m after - thanks very much - I’ll look at it now

I use 'Seconds' having spotted it on Joe Wicks! I've mainly used it to time stretches and strength exercises. It works great for what I need and is easy to edit. I should probably use it for an HIIT run someday.

Thank you - I’ll take a look at that too as Runkeeper played up for me a bit this morning - I’m sure it’s me not being very tech minded 🤔 I have enough trouble getting music to play and start MapMyRun at the same time 🙄 I went out this morning and had the sound of silence ... I mean no sound at all 🤣 still I did do my run but not nearly as enjoyable- I definitely go better when there is music or a podcast

I also use Runkeeper, and had looked at various other options before going with Runkeeper. I also play music and use the interval function.

There are a lot of options, so in quick start, audio options need to be on. Also what sometimes has caught me out is that I still have WiFi on, and I need to turn that off in order for it to use mobile for Spotify.

Thanks for the tips. I’ll have a “play” with it again tonight - hoping to go out in the morning so will let you know
