Time Counter

Hi, Does anybody know if such a device exists, Like an app or stop watch, Basically im doeing the couch to 5k running plan. in it you have to run and jog for different amounts of time.

ie Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

I have to keep counting how long im doing each and its getting frustrating. Is there a device that I could program it too beep or let me know when to switch.

Thanks

You can use Runkeeper (http://www.runkeeper.com which is what i used when starting running.

I signed up for one of their couching classes and found it great. Not only does it assign you a training plan but you are doing it with people all over the world and comparing results so you get the peer pressure.

Worked for me as i fun 45k a week now.

Or there are podcasts if you want to use a less bulky mp3 player. I used one by Robert ullrey.
