Just wondering if just me but the half way bell seems to be early.
Was out for a run this morning and had 'planned' my run. The bell went off so kept on a wee bit more then turned round. But got back to starting point well before the end? Maybe I was slow for first half and fast for second?
Maybe you were on negative splits (as you say, the second half faster). Which is generally seen as a good thing, so I wouldn’t worry at all.
Yes, probably. You don't say what run you were on, but I presume a continuous run rather than walk-run intervals? The 'toxic-ten' makes the first 10 minutes more challenging as the body is still warming up. Without aiming to, I notice the time taken to cover a km tends to decrease towards the end of a 5k run as my body is much warmer. You're probably seeing the effect of that. Assuming of course that you're not climbing uphill on the way out and downhill on the way back!
From memory, during C25K I used to think “is the halfway bell ever coming?”
From memory, there was no halfway bell on the podcast, and I'm delighted about that!
I used the app, guided by Laura.
The app's not available outside the UK, so it was the original Laura podcast for me, featuring the truly unforgettable Julie!
I didn’t know that. I must have downloaded it in the UK. It still works when I use it for a jog/run/jog session in France (where I’ll be tomorrow yahoo).
Hi, my 1/2 way bell is consistently and annoyingly early. I'm on week 9 and yesterday it rang just before Denise said I'd been running for 10 minutes. Any thoughts why it would be doing that anyone?
I have Denise as well. Maybe she gets over excited and rings the bell early 🤔🤪😂
I have had exactly the same experience. I was wondering whether the problem was with my phone or with the app.
I had the same experience too during the latter part of C25k-probably from week 7. I used the app
Yep, me too. I have the app with Laura - the bell seems to go off after about 10 mins for me on a 25 minute run (week 7).
In the app, the trainer is a continuously playing recording (MP3) which is mostly silence except when the trainer is speaking. The bell is a separate sound effect triggered from the metadata that controls that workout (eg. when to mute your music). It's entirely possible that the bell time could be wrong, or arranged to not clash with the trainer's voice.
(I had a look inside the app a few years ago.)
Half way 
Nearly half-way!
