App for a custom run workout?

[linda9389]

Does anyone know of a phone app I can use to alert me to different intervals and maybe warn me if I am in pace range (although that's not as important).

I would normally use the training/workout feature on Garmin which does all that very well, but I can't do that and also use the DwMap app on Garmin at the same time. Consequently I went the wrong way often today!!!

I don't want anything too fancy: a warm up in kms, a no of reps x (run 1k, walk 0.5k), a cool down in kms

Can Jog, run, sprint be set up to do this? Or any other phone based app you might know of? Has anyone used Ripit?

Thanks in advance if you know of anything.

Do you use a garmin watch? My forerunner 245 can be sent my custom workout and it keeps me in pace range. That would leave your phone free??

The thing is I'd like to see a map on my Garmin. Its just a Forerunner 235 so doesn't have inbuilt maps. I get round that by using Dwmap app on the Garmin to record the run (and show a map). Today I did use the Garmin workout function to record the run, and then kept checking the map on my phone .... but that meant I had to keep getting it out of my pocket 😂😂

Ideally I'd like to have the map on my watch (using DwMap) and a separate app on my phone which beeped through headphones or gave a voice prompt or whatever, to tell me when it was time to run or walk ... and my phone could then stay in my pocket!

Ah OK. My friend uses the runkeeper app which does workouts on her phone that she Bluetooth to her bone conducters. Not used it myself though.

I'm going to give Runkeeper a try. It looks to what I want 🤞

Hi Linda, not that I use it much at the moment, but JogRunSprint can be customised to whatever length warmup/cooldown/intervals/reps you want. I’m not sure about the pace range info though. Might be worth checking out? 🥰

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Do you know if I would have to have reps at the three different paces ie. jog, run and sprint ... or could I just have two for my walk and run?

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Hmmm, don’t know. I’ll have a play and let you know ......

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I had a brief look but it didn;'t ook obvious ... but as I'm typing this I'm thinking maybe I could set it to 0.5k run, 0.5k run and 0.5k walk! run, run, walk 🙂

Ok, so I looked and they class a “set” as 30-20-10 only. There doesn’t appear to be a way to get rid of one. I’m happy to be proved wrong ...

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

That's how it looked to me after a brief glance. It also seems to only work with timed intervals rather than distance intervals

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Booo, back to the drawing board then?

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Seems so! I may just have to have the map on my phone after all 🤒

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Hi Linda, I use Runkeeper and it can

- set up as many intervalls as you need

- I can decide to do all Intervalls in km or min

- I can opt into 5min warm-up and cool-down

- I can get various voices to tell you pace, speed, time, km, etc (so no warning, but I have set mine to update me every 5min

I use the free version on IOS. Hope this helps.

Thank you. I'll take a look. I think I can possibly use RipIt to do what I want, but I've never heard of it before, whereas I have at least heard of Runkeeper!
