Conceptual diagram of how the device needs to work from a user perspective:
1) user plugs in head phones to the head phone jack;
2) optionally, user plugs in mp3 player to the input/mp3 jack;
3) user turns on the device;
4) user selects the week number;
5) user selects the workout number;
6) optionally, the user starts playing music on the mp3 player;
7) the user presses start running.
For those unfamiliar with the program - it works if you stick with it to get you to the 5k hurdle:
Week | Workout 1 | Workout 2 | Workout 3 |
| 1 | Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes. | Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes. | Brisk five-minute warmup walk.

Hi glebite.
First off, congratulations with your first video. You have a good project concept here and you should see it through as a way to practice on your soldering (when you said "ehhhh, I'm crappy at soldering" in your video I lol'd). If you are able to get a soldering station, as you mentioned, I think you'll find it a lot easier. I suggest getting some of that soldering wool for cleaning your tip (I find it works better than just a wet sponge) and get some really thin solder as it's easier to control.
Another challenge would be to custom craft the sound for the alarm... you could find a sampled sound and work on code to play it over the audio, or put together one of those libraries that can assemble basic language sounds into speech. Anyway, just a suggestion for your next hack.
