Set your run and walk minutes, or pick a session from the 8-week beginner plan, and press start. Orange means run, green means walk.
No sound. The screen stays on while the timer runs; phones that support it vibrate at each switch.

Questions
What run/walk ratio should a beginner use?
Start with 1 minute of running and 1 to 2 minutes of walking, repeated for 20 to 30 minutes. When that feels easy, make the runs longer and the walks shorter. The beginner plan does this for you over 8 weeks.
Does the timer work with my phone locked?
No. Browsers pause timers when the phone locks, so this page keeps the screen awake while it runs. If you want cues with the phone locked in a pocket, use an app such as RunPack, which buzzes at every switch from the Lock Screen.
Why doesn’t it vibrate on my iPhone?
Safari on iPhone doesn’t let web pages vibrate. Watch the screen colour instead: orange means run, green means walk.
Why no sound?
So your music or podcast plays uninterrupted. The colour change and countdown are big enough to read at a glance.
