Looking for a halfway bell 🔔

Update 11 hours after posting, see end of this post.

———-

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?

Update: My choice for now- Ensō Meditation Timer

After having tested a couple of apps, this is the one I will be using to run alongside my runkeeper, and provide a gorgeous ‘gooonnnggg’ halfway, .... and not much more. It works with my Spotify, runkeeper, it’s very small and simple, it’s also quite beautifully designed and I can set it to ‘gong’ at 3 different times. It had all the needed functions for ‘gonging’ free, the paid version unlocking additional sounds. But this one available ‘gonnng’ sound is so gorgeous to be sufficiently persuasive for me to chose it.

Nike Run Club has a half way alert as well as the usual configurable ones.

Nice! Cheers. I got the NRC but cannot quite get myself to switch from runkeeper, having tracked quite a few runs in there. (And i love that it tracks activities even when not consciously pressing ‘start’, e.g. pocket mode) But really good to know, as I hadn’t noticed that feature.

Can you get a halfway on times runs with NRC. I only get it for distance.
