Ekiro: Interval Running
Running Timer: Run & Walk
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
BUILD YOUR OWN WORKOUT
Create a workout with the run and walk intervals that suit you. Or pick a ready-made one and start. From there, Ekiro keeps track of the timing and tells you when to run, walk, or switch to the next stage. You just keep moving.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO TRAIN YOUR WAY
Choose your intervals.
Decide how long to run and walk.
Add as many stages as you need.
Short intervals, long ones, mixed blocks — your workout does not have to fit a preset plan.
Create custom stages.
Go beyond running and walking. Add hill running, jump rope, or any other activity and name it your way.
Add warm-up and recovery.
They become full workout stages with their own duration.
Use repeats.
Build a sequence once and choose how many times it repeats.
Change the order.
Arrange stages in the sequence that works for you today.
Save your workouts.
Found a combination that works? Save it and use it again without rebuilding it.
OR JUST START WITH A READY-MADE WORKOUT
Do not want to set anything up? You do not have to.
Pick a ready-made workout and go.
Not sure where to start?
Ekiro can help you choose your first workout, so you do not have to figure out interval training on your own.
DURING YOUR WORKOUT
Forget the stopwatch.
Ekiro times every stage for you.
Get a heads-up before each switch.
Ten seconds before an interval ends, Ekiro warns you that a change is coming.
Listen for cues.
When a stage ends, Ekiro tells you what comes next. No need to keep looking at your phone.
See what is next.
If you do check the screen, you will see both the current stage and the one coming up.
AFTER YOUR WORKOUT
See the big picture.
Time, distance, and pace are saved in your report.
Break it down by interval.
See the result of each individual segment, not just averages for the whole run.
Track changes over time.
Compare your results week by week and see how your training evolves.
IF YOU RUN WITH APPLE WATCH
You do not need an Apple Watch to use Ekiro. But if you have one, you can leave your phone at home and take the workout to your wrist.
Leave your phone at home.
Start directly from Apple Watch and let Ekiro guide you through every stage without your iPhone.
See what stage you are in.
Your watch shows the current stage and how much time is left before the next one.
Get cues on your wrist.
Ekiro warns you before a stage changes and lets you know when it is time to switch.
Track your heart rate while you run.
Apple Watch reads your heart rate, and Ekiro shows it during the workout.
Set your own heart-rate limits.
Choose your range and Ekiro will alert you if your heart rate goes outside it.
Review the results later.
After the workout, your results appear on iPhone together with the rest of your reports.
EKIRO COACH
You run. Ekiro Coach helps you decide what to do next.
After your run, tell Ekiro Coach how it felt by rating the effort from 1 to 10.
Based on your rating, Ekiro Coach suggests your next workout. Its recommendations follow the principle of gradually increasing training load used by professional coaches.
Felt easy?
Coach may suggest running a little longer or adding another repeat.
Felt right?
Coach may suggest keeping the same load and staying at that level a little longer.
Felt hard?
Coach may suggest making the next workout easier, without sudden jumps in load.
You decide.
Ekiro Coach suggests the next step, but accepting it or keeping your workout unchanged is always your choice.
Ekiro is a training app, not a medical device. If you have health limitations, talk to your doctor before starting training.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Training for a 3K or 5K race. Choose your distance and, if you want, your race date — Ekiro will build a week-by-week plan and guide you step by step. If a week feels too hard, the app will suggest repeating it before moving on. The program is available with Ekiro Coach.
• The Progress tab is now much more useful. It’s no longer just charts and numbers — it gives you a clear picture of how your training is changing. See whether you’re running more, how consistently you train, whether your distance is increasing, and whether the effort is starting to feel easier. Ekiro brings it all together and briefly explains what changed over the selected period. If you use Apple Watch, you’ll also see Resting Heart Rate and Cardio Fitness data from the Health app.
