App to measure Distance

I am a new runner. Is there an app where I can set a distance to run and then the app beeps/tells me when I've run that distance.

I have Strava but that tells me how much I have run, not when I have run a particular distance, if that makes sense. I don't want to have to keep checking my phone.

Thank you

You can set Strava to tell you how long you have run after every mile or half mile.

When you go to record, tap on the settings cog in the top right hand corner, select audio cues and then you can either set it to half or full mile.

I downloaded the Adidas running app. That tracks your route and tells you every km your speed and pace, and how many calories you have burned off.
It also give you a map of your route after, elevation during run and a graph showing slowest and fasted km.
There's probably other features and I think you can pay for some premium features.

The Run Interval app is great - can add distance/ times whatever you want

Runkeeper (free version) does this

In settings, under 'coaching' you can set it to give you an audio reminder by either distance or time
