Measuring 5k

Hi I’m getting a bit previous but is there an app that tells you when you’ve completed a 5k ? Something that interacts with you as you are running ? I’m only on week 7 but like the interaction with the C25K app but would like a distance reminder

Strava is good for measuring, but wont interact with you throughout, you may just need to keep an eye on it to see when you are at 5km.

I have not tried it on a phone but I believe My asics will do that for you. You can set up a training plan to suit your next event, etc.

MapmyRun will record your run and shout out distance, every 1k, half k, whatever you choose. Just the free version does everything required.
