Ever since I graduated and stopped use it the C25k app or podcasts, the thing I’ve missed the most (besides the lovely coaches) is the HALF-WAY BELL. 🛎
Runkeeper does not seem to have a half-way bell, and as I am now extending the duration from run to run, and running a doubling-back route, I really could do with a half-way bell.
On my iPhone, the clock’s stopwatch ⏱ is useless (keeps on ringing or stops everything).
Any tips and tricks or apps on how to get a half-way bell?
The other day I downloaded a timer app for hiit intervals, it beeps when you reach the end of whatever interval you set and moves on to the next. I wonder if something like that might help? But I've no idea if it will interfere with music or other apps!
Is it the “Interval Timer - HIIT workouts”? Will try it out. Cheers. 🙏
Yep, that's the one 👍
I agree really need that half way bell. I just set Runkeeper to tell me when I’ve done 15 mins then turn round.
Ahh, I do set runkeeper to have the 5 min warmup and cool down walk, so that messes up my halfway point. And I like having runkeeper tell me how I’m doing every 5 min (needy as I am). Will post my experience with two additional apps that I’m testing .. thanks to other runners.
Oh let me know how they go. Love apps !
I use the Nike Run Club app. I set either a time or distance goal and it tells me when I am half way through ☺️
Ahh, yes. I tried the NRC and really liked it, but just liked runkeeper more for some reason I cannot remember anymore. But will keep it in mind.
I can’t get the halfway bell for timing. Only distance. Is there a setting I’m missing? On the NRC app.
Use the one you app. It’s much better. That’s what most people use. You can listen to your own music it with it too. And there are a choice of coaches to help you.
“Use the one you app” sorry confused by this?
The ‘one you’ couch to 5k app. That’s the name of the app that people use to do couch to 5k and the app that this forum is based on.
Ahh yes but this thread is about switching apps. Which is what I am doing. I had to many issues with C25K so like the original post was wondering about other apps that has a halfway bell based on time not distance.
Oh right. This post is 8 months old.
The snark isn’t necessary. You don’t need to respond or read an old post if you don’t want to. But someone may have the answer and respond. Enjoy your day 
!!
I don’t know what snark is and I don’t know what you are talking about. I was simply stating it was an old post in case you didn’t realise and didn’t get a reply. I did try and help by replying. Geez.
I don’t know about NRC, but I started using Runkeeper and set up 2 intervals that then give me a message halfway.
I used to also use an additional gong timer, but when realising I could use Runkeeper intervals, I deleted it again.
Not sure this helps, but maybe. In NRC you may be able to set up also two intervals?
The Samsung health app gives a halfway shout out if you set a timed activity
Is it ok to rest halfway?
Why does the bell ring?
