Make you own distance cues

I would like the ability to set my own specific distance cues so that when i run or walk i do not need to check my watch in order to know how much further i need to go. This feature could benifit all devices i believe. Right now you only able to set the cues in 1 mile or 1 kilometer increments thats not good enough, I would like to set say 3.1 miles for a 5K, or 400, 800, 1200 meters what ever you need you should be able to have that option. Hopefully this makes sense to people what i'm tring to say.

I would like cues at 0.5 or 2.5 or just the ability to manually adjust it at any distance. Dibro sufferers often need to push limits at the tiniest increments. This could help... checking the app while exercising is far from convenient and breaks momentum.

Please shorten the smallest cue frequency to 0.25 mile instead of 0.5 mile. More info more often can only aid training 🙂

Hey @Keithy44! Nice suggestion, thanks for sharing. We look forward to hearing what other community members think about shorten the smallest cue frequency to 0.25 mile instead of 0.5 mile.

Yes.  Please implement a 0.25 mile audio cue.  Every other running app that I’m aware of does this.  Thanks!

I would like a frequency setting of “Every 0.25. mi” for Voice Cues. It seems like this would require only a software update...

Hi @SunsetRunner, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. This feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here. Don't forget to add your vote!

Request to add option on mobile app for every 0.5 km to allow for more options in training, such as interval workouts. 800 m does not evenly divide for most race distances.

Hi @Brysko, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to add more option for distance cues for example each 5K. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

Great idea.  I would just like the cues to vibrate every 0.5 miles on my sense like it used to on my versa 1.  
Anything to make it work would be great.
