I noticed that during the walking intervals I tend to slow down a lot. I am currently making my way through the Couch to 5k program and so do a combination of walking and running. My hubby likes to giggle at all my workout tech) (Yes, I know I have a lot of tech on during my workouts. My Spark Activity Tracker counted 4,024 steps on 3/24 and then 4,304 for 3/26. Not only did I increase my exertion level, but I also increased actual steps during my workout. So, how do I know that the metronome app helped? I ran two identical runs on two different days, and the numbers for my second run were definitely improved with the metronome app as measured by my Polar heart rate monitor. 🙂 Results of running with a metronome app Once I had the app, I had to figure out just what tempo to set it too, so I did a Google search and found a great article from Life Hacker for finding the right beats per minute (BPM) to run to and I settled on 153 BMP… because I like to jog not run… plus, it’s more for the walking portion of my workout than for the running part.
#METRONOME APP ANDROID#
🙂Īfter downloading and trying out a couple of apps on my Android I finally settled on this simple metronome app for my phone. Actually, that’t not entirely true… I’m not so much trying to improve my time as I am trying to just pick up the pace a bit and not be so lazy on the portions I walk. She mentioned that she ran with a metronome to beat her personal best splits time, and I thought that I might be able to use it to improve my time as well. I got it from another fitness blogger over at A Pace of Balance. Now, I cannot take any credit for this idea. The only sounds besides a rooster crowing are my dog’s paws and my shoes beating on the ground. I usually run in the early mornings before most people or even the sun is up and it’s so quiet and peaceful. The other day I went running with a metronome app, and I just had to share my experience with you! I normally run without music because I find running to be almost like meditation.
