iPhone app for Galloway run/walk intervals

[kermit116]

I'm training for my first RunDisney event (and my first 10k)! I'm just getting back in to running so I'm relying heavily on the Galloway run/walk method to get back in shape.

Are there any iPhone apps that will help with timing out intervals for the Galloway run/walk interval training? I've heard some people talk about using a Garmin or other device that will beep or vibrate to tell you when to change intervals.

I'm running with my iPhone, and I really don't want to buy another device.

I also have a Jawbone "Up" bracelet that someone gave me - I haven't used it yet so I have no idea if there's some way to set that up to vibrate on my wrist for interval transition periods.

Any tips from iPhone owners using the Galloway method are appreciated!!

There are quite a few apps out there that allow you to set intervals. I've used one called Seconds and also Runtastic. Both seem to work fine to manage intervals. I know there are others out there as well, these are just the two I've used.

My husband uses RunKeeper for iPhone (the free version) and likes it. Setting up intervals was a bit challenging but I Googled around and found out how to do it.

i've used the C25K (couch to 5K) app and loved it. same principle as galloway. there is also a C210K app.

There are Galloway apps for iphone by the maker lolo....I used the easy 5K for treadmill training but didn't like it as well for actual outdoor training...I prefer the Runtastic app as well to measure my outdoor runs...but to each his own.

I use iSmoothRun when I do run-walk-run intervals. (but glad to see that its possible to do on the RunKeeper free version too)

I used a HIIT intervals timer app for the first time today. It was really easy to set up. I set it for 30/30 for 30 minutes with 5 min warm up/cool down and it worked fine along with my C25K app.
