Running Timer
About the Running Timer
Runners quit intervals early when nobody calls time. This Running Timer structures track repeats, fartlek surges, and walk-jog recovery so aerobic work stays honest on roads and treadmills. FiveK plans use four-hundred-meter repeats, trail runners time hill sprints with walk-down rests, and coaches run beep-test style blocks for school teams. Track intervals, fartlek blocks, and walk-jog recovery.
How to use it
- Open the Running Timer page and pick a preset or enter a custom duration for the block.
- Label the drill, period, or training focus in the task field before starting.
- Press start when the athlete or group is truly ready to work.
- Pause only for safety or equipment issues; keep blocks honest for weekly planning.
- Stop when the alert sounds and decide whether to start the next block or cool down.
Good to know
Intervals are a training aid, not medical advice. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness, or chest tightness. The clock only helps if the tab stays open and you can hear or see the change of round.
