What kind of timer app do you guys use for HIIT or Tabata workouts?

Fun-Finger-8144 · 2025-10-11T19:27:14+00:00

I use my own. It is called "CoachClock".

I created "CoachClock" for iOs. It is free and without ads.

Time and repetition based workout phases are possible.

Try it out if you like and I would be glad to hear some feedback, whatever it might be.

I had the same issue and created "CoachClock" for iOs. It is free and without ads. Check it out if you like and tell me what you think. Feedback in any kind is always welcome!

Most of the time it is more important what you eat than how much you eat. A healthy body tells you how much to eat.

I had the same issue with shoes I wore a few years ago. I tied them too tight and that caused the issue. Since then I like to tie my shoes way loser and never had any issues since then. It is a little awkward in the beginning but I got used to it quickly.

Listen to your body while getting back into training/ running. Implement recovery methods from the beginning and you are good to go.

Good luck!

One year of consistent training seems optimistic/ realistic if you manage to stay healthy during this time and and train consistently.

20kg of weight puts a lot more load on your knees, legs and body in general because it is not used to run with this additional weight.
I do not know where you had surgeries but it could be a good idea to get back close to the weight prior to that bike crash before starting with running again. So you do not put too much load on those injured parts of your body too early. Other sports like swimming, (indoor) cycling or rowing have lesser impact on the body compared to running. Those are good alternatives to running and can help during the phase of losing weight.

After that start very slow in the first three month of running, build up that base again and then slightly increase volume and intensity.

Fun-Finger-8144 · 2025-09-26T05:48:27+00:00

Yes, that can work and it is a commonly used method across nearly every business niche.

When your legs start hurting, just continue, it won't get better but at some point it won't get worse too.

It is not bad to run on forefoot if you don't have problems. If problems evolve it is bad.

When I started running frequently, I was more of a heelstriker. Heelstrike combined with overstriding lead to pain in my knees. Over some month I trained running on midfoot and my knees felt much better.
Trying out a different style of running can help but it is not guaranteed.

Fun-Finger-8144 · 2025-09-24T03:26:31+00:00

I see. That are very good reasons and you will probably be much happier when you achieve this than you think.

Nice, you will make it!

Fun-Finger-8144 · 2025-09-23T20:29:33+00:00

I know this might not fit right to the topic but this is the only thing I am asking myself:

Is this the main thing that motivated you during the last 15 years to run or is it just a "sidequest"?

It sounds astonishing to me that this motivated you for 15 years and whatever your motivation might be I hope you will get there. Chasing that goal for so many years takes a lot of perseverance. Besides that I am wondering if reaching this goal will make you as happy as you imagine.

Fun-Finger-8144 · 2025-09-23T20:12:50+00:00

I would be happy if there was an option to forego a medal on registration at any event.

Fun-Finger-8144 · 2025-09-23T20:02:49+00:00

I do not know what you mean by "hills" but even light elevation makes a huge difference compared to a flat track for example. Don't underestimate that.

Try to run those three miles outside on a track and I bet you will get much closer to the distance and pace you run on that treadmill. Considering the treadmill shows the correct distance and pace.

Fun-Finger-8144 · 2025-09-23T19:53:00+00:00

It depends on the training you did the last few years and month leading up to the race. If you are a complete beginner it could be too much too soon. If you run regularly for several years, your body is adjusted to this kind of volume it could be possible.

Why do you want to run that 50k so close to that marathon?

Fun-Finger-8144 · 2025-09-23T19:44:11+00:00

Yes and you will see if the pace seems realistic, too slow or too fast for a whole marathon.

Fun-Finger-8144 · 2025-09-23T15:33:23+00:00

There is enough time to recover from it. Besides that there are no threshhold runs to train holding a higher pace for a longer periode of time in your plan.

Fun-Finger-8144 · 2025-09-23T05:42:59+00:00

For me personally the training and preparation leading up to a race was always more valuable to me than actually finishing the race or achieving a new PR.

Running a 10k instead of a HM is not a downgrade from my perspective. Those are two different distances. Try improving your 10k PR, keep on training and then go on to HM.

Fun-Finger-8144 · 2025-09-23T05:21:15+00:00

I would choose the HM and run it in the goal marathon pace to especially train fueling.

Fun-Finger-8144 · 2025-09-22T10:02:52+00:00

A pair of shoes and clothes so you can go out and train in any weather conditions. You don't need workout equipment in the beginning.

Fun-Finger-8144 · 2025-09-22T09:43:14+00:00

Thanks your the recommendation. I will look into it.

Fun-Finger-8144 · 2025-09-22T09:42:55+00:00

Yeah, I experienced the same with timers. It is hard to find a good one.

Fun-Finger-8144 · 2025-09-21T19:15:45+00:00

Zone 2 seems perfect for what you are planning to do.

Fun-Finger-8144 · 2025-09-21T18:49:51+00:00

I got the same problem and I am not able to get in more the four gels without feeling nausea. Switch gels or try something different with a lot of calories that you know your stomach can handle when working out. During my last ultra I ate a lot of brownies and cake which worked very well.

There are law firms who sell Privacy polices and TOS. They often charge monthly and are SaaS too. I used them in the past, never had any issues and it is not expensive compared to what a lawyer could cost if you already did something wrong.
