The Trecho Run Timer app is a run timer for Physical Education teachers.  This app is designed to make mile runs easy to manage and assess.  To begin, simply import your classes into the app using a .csv file.  A sample can be downloaded below.  Once your class is imported, start the timer and you are on your way.

The Trecho Run Timer is the perfect timer for Physical Education teachers because it is able to keep track of up to six classes of 60 students while managing each student’s time with the touch of a button.  When students finish their run they simply state their roll call number and the teacher presses that number on the timer.  When the class is complete you can export that data in a .csv file and email it to yourself.  Open that file in Trecho Desktop and you can view many charts for your class.  Below you can go to the Apple App store to install the Trecho Run Timer, you can download the Trecho Desktop to manage the data, and you can download a sample .csv file to help import your students.

Timer Functions:

Getting Started:

• Input student data.  You can do this manually, which might take a while, or you can do this by importing a .csv file.  You can download a sample .csv file above.  Simply make this file in a spreadsheet program and save it as a .csv file.  Email this file to yourself.  When you open the .csv file in your email you will get an option to import into the Trecho Run Timer. 

  • Note:  You do not have to input a height and weight score.  The timer will work without this, but it will not calculate a VO2 Max Score.

Manual Input

Import Students

• Next, set up the standards page.  Here you can adjust the standards for each student based on their age and gender.  This is also where you can set up student standards for mile time, VO2 Max score, and split times. 

• You are now ready to have your students run the mile.  Press the start button when the students take off.  Then, as students finish their run, you just press their number and their score is recorded.  Train students to say their number to you as they finish.  You can record up to ten split times in the Trecho Run Timer. 

• When your run is complete, just click the Export Data button on the home screen to email your results.
