Looking for a halfway bell πŸ””

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

β€”β€”β€”-

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. πŸ›Ž

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 β€˜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 β€˜gong’ at 3 different times. It had all the needed functions for β€˜gonging’ free, the paid version unlocking additional sounds. But this one available β€˜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 β€˜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.
