Frequently asked questions

Is this suitable for beginners?

Yes — the 3-minute hard effort can be run at your own pace. Beginners should focus on completing all 8 rounds rather than running each interval at maximum speed.

Can I use this for a run club?

Yes, this is designed for group use — put the timer in fullscreen at your meeting point so everyone can see the countdown and hear the sound alerts between intervals.

Need more than a template timer?

TimedFlow gives event producers, speakers, and teams professional countdown displays with remote control, multi-screen sync, and backstage coordination.
