ExcuseRun: Beginner Run Coach
Walk to 20 min, with voice
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Start with a minute of running, two of walking. The plan fits where you are now, the voice calls out each interval, and the timer stops when you do. Then: today's card.
Can't run for one minute straight? That's the starting line.
ExcuseRun is a beginner run coach that walks you from your first minute to a
20-minute run. And when you're done, it turns the distance into a card.
■ It talks you through the run
· "Run one minute." "Walk two minutes, catch your breath."
· A heads-up 30 seconds before each interval ends
· It ducks your music instead of stopping it
· Keeps going with the screen off
■ Standing still doesn't count against you
· Stop at a light and the timer stops with you
· Start moving and it picks right back up
· Paused time comes out of your total
■ The plan follows you
· One question sets your level. No test run
· Start by Walking / 20 to 30 / Holding 40 / Picking Up Speed
· Not your day? Skip the interval
· Skip a few and the plan quietly steps back a week
· If your goal is far off, it shows you the steps instead of saying no
■ A card for every run
· The same 5km is Cheonggyecheon today, blossom road tomorrow
· 40 cards across Neighborhood, Seoul, Space, and Food
· It reads as a joke, not a flex, so you can actually post it
■ You can see the change
· How your longest unbroken run grew, minute by minute
· Replay any past run interval by interval — where you paused, what you skipped
· A streak calendar for the days you moved
■ Light on purpose
· No account. Everything stays on your phone
· Location is only used to measure distance and never leaves the device
· Deny location and the interval guidance still works
· No watch needed. Log treadmill, walking, running or stairs by hand
For everyone who tried to start running three times already.
