Excercise App - time for lap setting instead of distance

When going for a run the run setting will notify me every time I hit 1 mile...however I like to run based on time not distance.  For example...if i go for a 40 min run i would like my watch to buzz at 20 min so i know to turn around instead of constantly having to look at my Ionic.

@Cantryboy, what Fitbit do you have? The Ionic (and I believe the Versa) already has this ability. In settings you can change the automatic lapping to minutes.

@elepolt I still want the lap setting to be in miles but have a countdown timer (for more than 20 min).  But thank you for pointing that out--i have the ionic and hadn't seen that!

Ahhh. I understand now. Well I'm glad you learned a new feature for your Ionic!
