HiJust wondering if anyone can recommend an app to use that goes on distance and will tell me when I am half way. ( need to turn round at this point). Hope that makes sense. Looked at Nike but seems to be time based. Though maybe looking at wrong workouts.
Thanks
I'm assuming you don't have a Garmin that can buzz every kilometre Wagper08 ?
If not, maybe Strava? I used to have mine set to announce every kilometre. Though I turned it off because it was annoying me too much!
Have a fitbit but don't think it has the option to do that. I can set a distance but don't think it tells me halfway 🤔
Are you sure? Mine used to!
I use Runkeeper app, and it has full tracking functionality in the free version.
Whenever I need a half-way bell, I just set up two intervals. These can be time or distance based. But then the audio voice tells you all your stats at halfway point.
Hope this helps.

Nike Run Club distance-based guided runs will usually tell you when you’ve reached each km and when you’re halfway. You’d need to listen to the guidance commentary as far as I can tell though. That’s quite marmite. I love a bit of Coach Bennett but others find him too cheesy!
If you just click “go for a run” and “start’, it will announce when you hit each km with a few other stats. That won’t tell you when you’re halfway though. With practice, it’s not too tricky to work that out without a prompt though.
If you use Nike Run Club and change from time to distance it tells you when your half way even without the guided runs.
This is really useful information! Thank you!!
And, if you go further than the distance you set it'll tell you each km that you are 1, 2 etc km beyond your goal which is quite encouraging 😁
You’re right about that! It always catches me by surprised when k hit the next km a minute or two after the guided big ends!
Strava is fab - I use the paid version but the free one works well. If you set it up with audio cues it'll tell you each km you hit and the speed of that km. It'll give you all sorts of graphs and stats as well!!
just use Strava on your phone - I have mine set to tell me each 500m to give me an idea of pace but also use it if I’m doing a random out and back run
Or use free version of MapMyRide, (on running mode) with the audio coaching switched on. You can even choose to be told your stats every 0.25 km!
I use the Mapmyrun app for all my runs, you have a choice to set it for miles or kilometers, I have used kilometers since I started running in 2018, you can set it within the kilometer range to 0.1 of a kilometer, 250 metres, 1 kilometre, which is what I use, also 5K, 10K or even 25 kilometers, those long distances I would imagine are for marathon and ultra marathon runners.
First 10k
10k yay 😀
When is a 10k not 10k?
10k - DONE!!!
10k Completed 😁
