How to repeat intervals during run

My question applies to the half-marathon app.  I've noticed that by the end of the app, it trains you to do intervals of 4-minute runs and 1-minute walks.  This is exactly what I want to do!  However, because I run slowly, I doubt I'll finish a half-marathon in the number intervals the app directs you to do.  So, my question is, if I have more distance to complete, how to I get the app to continue some more intervals (before the cool-down period)?

 

Thanks!

I've not messed with the App(I took my training program upon myself after finishing C25K) but if you learn to run 9-10 miles you'l be able to run a half marathon. Most training programs don't train the full distance. 9-10 for a half and 20-21 for a full. I ran my half when i was only up to 8 miles.

Thanks Azatol,

 

However, I think you didn't understand my question.  My goal is to run/walk the half-marathon with intervals of 4-min runs, 1-min walks. (which is what the app trains you to do) I have no intention of running the whole thing.  My issue is that I would not finish the half-marathon by the end of the last interval and want to know how to get the app to continue with more intervals until I complete 13.1 miles.

Gotcha. Unfortunately I don't believe there is functionality within the Zenlabs apps but I've not looked at the Half M one to be honest.

dlsacks,

 

I would repeat it. After finishing the session, start it again. When the app asks if you want to overwrite the saved data, tap 'yes.'

I think the issue would be, when you restart, your first interval would be a 5 minute warmup walk which is probably undesirable mid marathon. I just checked Google Play and there are tons of "Interval timer" apps available. I'd assume the same of the Apple App Store.

I didn't think about the warm-up. The interval app sounds like a good idea.
