APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

In the past we have developed products for the Apple Store. Additional projects are in the design mode. Our initial product is for distance runners and their coaches.

LAP CALCULATOR 

Our initial application was available for a limited time on the Apple Store. It has been withdrawn due to lack of interest. It was valuable to long distance runners and their coaches.  It is particularly of need when running indoor meets where the track sizes vary do to the limitation of each building.  The app will calculate what the lap times should be based on the target time of the race, the size of the track, and the event being performed.

 

We are now working on a Excel VBA version of the application.

 

Purpose:

This program aids runners and distance track coaches during training exercises and actual meets by determining runners pace and then compares the pace vs the actual race time.  Currently it is under development.

Executive Summary:

 The program allows the user to input various information prior to the run or event. This information consists of the event's length (yards or meters); the event's track size; and a runners anticipated target time (up to 5 runners). The program computes the number of intervals required for the event and then calculates the target time that should be achieved for each interval. For example, on a standard 400 meter track the program's calculation will determine the number of las required for the event and indicate the runner's target time for each lap. The program's flexibility will provide the same information if the track is a different size. This is particularly important when using indoor facilities of different sizes. It can also be used in outside cross country events.

 

 Once the event starts the program keeps track of each runners time at each measured interval. At each interval the program shows the race clock time, the runners target time, the runner’s total time, the difference between the target time and actual time (in RED if actual time is under target time) , and the split time between the last two intervals. The intervals do not have to be consistent length. The user must be in visual sight of each intervals point in order to 'mark' the runner's progress throughout the event.
