Keep the “Workout” button on and hit the “Select an Activity Type” button. Next go to the Apple Health Workout Tracking “Select an Activity Type” screen. The first thing I do is name the new timer. You can see your info/history in the app itself, but it will also upload to Apple Health Workout if you tell it to. The app will ask you for permission to save the data to Apple Health. This method allows him to go 10 or 12 miles comfortably. It also includes 2 Training Programs…a 9 week 5K Training and a 12 week None to Run program which utilized the Run/Walk.įor this tutorial, we are going to add a Custom Interval Timer for a Run/Walk that my husband likes to do when we want to go for a long run, but we aren’t training for anything. The app has built in Workout Templates for a Run/Walk, 4×4 Run, etc. These two images show the Add New Timer page in the app…the second photo is just what you can scroll down to.

Let’s go down to the blue button on the lower right and add a new custom timer. I think when I had the free version, I was only able to have 1 timer and had to set it up each time I wanted a different timer. So that is what you will end up having when you start inputting different workouts. Just hit the Interval 5 section and you could start from there. You would use this feature if say, you were going to do 4×600’s instead of setting up a whole different timer. You can start the timer by hitting the “start” button on the bottom, or start anywhere by hitting one of the Intervals (numbered 1-8) or the Rest.
Workout timing app plus#
There is a Preview of the whole run (the run scrolls down and shows every interval…8 of them plus the recovery). The total time is 3 minutes plus 5.72 miles. This is a Custom Timer, so one that I put in myself. If that sentence seems like shorthand to you, access an explanation here. Let’s look at my 8×600 M 400 Recovery Run. You can see I have a list of a lot of runs/running workouts that I can choose.
Workout timing app update#
If you find that to be the case, please let me know so I can update the post to include that information.
Workout timing app pro#
I do have the pro version and since it has changed so much since I first got it, some of what I show you may not be available on the free version. I forget to take in carbs when I should, so I have also used this app to remind me to eat something at set times. Incorporating things like tempo runs, intervals and strides is one of the keys to me breaking the 2 hour half-marathon mark. One of the things I have learned as I have advanced in the sport is that workouts are important to my running fitness. I really like to start people out on a run/walk program if they are new to running, so this app is great for a beginner as well as an advanced runner that wants to do intervals. The great thing about the app if you are a beginning runner, is it has a Run/Walk training program already built into it.
