Hello, 
I would like to time my runs with a countdown timer - while simultaneously connected to GPS. I am aware of the countdown timer and the running function (in exercise app). But the running feature only uses a count-up timer. Is there a way to do what I'd like to do? Thank you!

Currently no. It isn't possible to leave the exercise application whilst it's active, meaning there is no way to access another app.

 

Have you tried using the interval exercise shortcut? I've not looked at this myself but it might be of some use to you. If it's not already on your device you can add it by following this guide.

 

Also it might be worth voting for this feature suggestion. Hopefully something like this will be implemented soon.
