Hi, could someone tell me how to make my Garmin FR405 beep when I am at the halfway point in an out & back run? Thanks. Smile

Wherever you turn around is the halfway point in an out-and-back run. Sorry, couldn't resist that Big grin

Set your distance alert at one half your total run; i.e., 4 mile run, set at 2...6 mile, set at 3. There may be a smarter way, but this will do the job.

Mine does it automatically. I set the workout as a simple distance workout and put in my mileage. Then "Do Workout" and it will beep at the halfway point. For some reason It won't when I am doing a HR workout though so if anyone has the answer to that (((hugs)))

Yeah I wanted it for my HR runs... Undecided

I suppose I don't really need it. I have autolap on for every mile, and it doesn't take that much effort to check it, I just figured that if there was a way to do it, why not.
