Interval Run

Version: 1.5.1 || Release Date: 2011-07-11 || License: Commercial ($1.99) App Owner: lou2005

Interval Run guides you with vocal feedback through your interval exercise. Select a workout, tap 'Start' and focus on your exercise, not the watch.

HIGHLIGHTS:

* Spoken feedback to notify the user when to switch from walking to running (or 8 other types)
* Tabata, Couch 2 5K, Gateway to 8K and One Hour Runner programs included.
* Customizable intervals
* The feedback is spoken over your music (just start the music prior to starting Interval Run)

NOTICE:

If you cannot hear the spoken feedback (as reported in one of the reviews)
, please check the following:

- Start some music before starting Interval Run. Otherwise, locking the phone will disable speech.

- If you don't like to listen to music during exercise, please leave the iPhone/iPod unlocked and disable automatic locking from 'Settings/General'.

- Check your volume settings. On the iPhone, Interval Run uses the Ringer volume for speech. You can adjust the ringer volume using the physical volume buttons when music is paused. On the iPod you can bring up the volume dialog by double-clicking the home button.

I tried the free app GymBoss but couldn't hear the audible alarms when the ipod was sleeping. Then i used WOD timer for a while. But sometimes i missed hearing an alarm and sometimes I lost track of what I was doing and had to check the ipods screen. So i splurged and spent 2 bucks on this. It has some great runner programs built in but i built my own custom one. It was easy to do and the interface was intuitive with plenty of shortcuts. Started my playlist, started my Nike +, and then started up Interval Run. I didn't have to think about keeping track, never missed an alarm, and I never once had to look at my ipod. I use this all the time now.
