Add Interval Training Timer (HIIT) That Buzzes at a Certain Pace

Hello,
I'm excited about the new products. I am a run/walker, and in training for my recent marathon, a friend had a garmin watch that vibrated at certain intervals. (Ex: if I wanted to have a pace of 3min run/1min walk it would vibrate at those intervals to keep me on track).

Please add a running trainer programme like 'couch to 5k' to help a beginner build up to a 5k run through interval walk/run training and gradually build up.

Couch 2 5K and to Couch 2 10K would be great additions

Just lost a customer to the Samsung S2 watch! It has everything and more than my Fitbit Blaze and now I can use interval timing whenever I want! Had it only a week now and could not be happier! Sorry Fitbit...

I would love to have interval training added to my fitbit Blaze!!!!  Interval training and HIIT have been shown to be extremely beneficial for health and fitness; so it would make sense to add it to my tracker, it's the fitbit Blaze so should be perfectly capable of tracking this activity!!

I stopped running 3 years ago and want to slowly get back into it and would really appreciate an interval trainer type function on the Blaze.

When using GPS with intervals I would like to see distances and stats for each part of an interval as well as the mile splits.

3 years on from the initial request and this is still not available?

 

Surely the employees at FitBit no that HIIT and interval training has become more and more popular.

 

It would be a simple and cheap feature to add to all fitbit watches.

 

Please consider.

It would be fantastic to have the HIIT on the Blaze!

Maybe also some TRX exercise and Tabata!

Adding a feature to the blaze to make the stopwatch have rounds, and maybe sets in rounds, would make it stellar for use in HIIT excercises and tabatta. Setting in up in the app and pushing it to the wearable would be top notch. I wear my blaze now and use my phone for a timer, but eliminating my phone would be optimum.

Please consider adding an interval tracker, as a runner training for marathons this feature is much needed!  All the other watches offer this feature as standard this is a main attraction feature missing from fitbit

It's impossible to run for weight loss, train for a 5k, half or full marathon (heck, even do a couch-to-5k program) without interval training!! I never expected my fitbit blaze to be missing such a basic feature. It makes me wonder who the fitbit is made for...out of shape people to show them they need to be more active? Because it really is no help to anyone whose goal is to walk/jog/run for weight loss or a race. You can't do it without intervals! Come on fitbit, please help your runners!

Have just spent a long time looking for interval training options on my Blaze as I just expected it to be there... then found this thread!! Please please please add this feature I shouldn't have to have something else clunky on my phone or another watch just to go out for a run!

Would love to see an interval training program on the blaze! Would help a lot of people out who is training for marathons. I know that it's on other fitbit but can you guys please add it to blaze?! It would be awesome if you guys did!

Please add interval timer for HIIT training. For a company that has Fit as part of their company name, it makes no sense that this feature isn't already there.
