CREATE YOUR OWN

CREATE YOUR OWN workouts enable the user to design personalized workouts based on SPEED INTERVAL or on HEART RATE INTERVAL. CREATE YOUR OWN WORKOUTS may be disabled through the manager’s configuration screen (See Section 5.2, Configuration Menu, Manager’s Configuration 2, Create Your Own Manager Configuration, for details). Users cannot name and save their workout.

SPORT TRAINING

These goal oriented workouts are designed for runners training for races. The programs create realistic terrains by setting dif- ferent incline levels throughout the course. Incline grades depend on the difficulty levels selected during the workout setup. A

1.5percent incline grade, which is the baseline level, simulates a flat running surface. A zero percent grade simulates running downhill. Incline durations range between 30 and 60 seconds. The course ends when the goal is met. The following Sport TrainingTM programs are available on this unit:

SPORT TRAININGTM (5K) is a 5-kilometer, or 3.1-mile, course.

SPORT TRAININGTM (10K) is a 10-kilometer, or 6.2-mile, course.

SPEED INTERVAL allows the user to toggle between user defined jog and run speeds. The user can toggle the speeds at any time during the workout, or adjust the speeds “on the fly.”

SPEED TRAINING is a Hill workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low levels very quickly to simulate a typical speed-training workout.
