Splits Using Time Instead of Distance

I do a lot of interval workouts using time intervals (e.g., 90 sec on, 30 off x 8). It would be great to be able to breakdown my splits in terms of time instead of distance (so be able to see, for this 30 second period, I went 0.10 miles, or i was running at an average pace of 6 min/mil). Right now it only has splits by distance, which isn’t super helpful for time intervals. As an added bonus, it would be great if that was integrated with the coach. For the workout above, I had the coach tell me to go hard for 90 sec, and then easy for 30 sec. If the splits could integrate with that (that is, after the workout, it would give me a summary report with: interval 1, hard, you went X distance and Y pace, interval 1, easy, you went X distance and Y pace, etc.), that would be awesome!

  Agree that added functionality for splits would be a great thing.  A different app that I tried out before settling on MapMyRun had a "split" or "lap" button on the display during a run, and pressing it reset the displayed time, distance, pace to the marked lap.  This would be very helpful when doing intervals on a training workout, for example -- as it now stands, I can never be sure what pace I'm at for a short interval because even the pace readout (not average pace) involves some averaging of recent readings rather than a snapshot of actual pace at one point in time.  By being able to manual mark the start and end of a lap, for example at the start and end of a training workout interval, would get real-time stats much more helpful in staying on pace.  With this one exception, really enjoying the app and appreciate how reliable the tracking has been!
