Problems solved by technology

Individuals training for a foot race on a specific route may not always have easy access to the physical terrain over which the race takes place.
Inclement weather may prevent training.
This would be far more difficult than a predominately flat course.

Embodiment Construction

[0012]As will be appreciated by one skilled in the art, the present invention may be embodied as a method, system, or computer program product. Accordingly, the present invention may take the form of an entirely hardware embodiment, an entirely software embodiment (including firmware, resident software, micro-code, etc.) or an embodiment combining software and hardware aspects that may all generally be referred to herein as a “circuit,”“module” or “system.” Furthermore, the present invention may take the form of a computer program product on a computer-usable storage medium having computer-usable program code embodied in the medium.

[0013]Any suitable computer usable or computer readable medium may be utilized. The computer-usable or computer-readable medium may be, for example but not limited to, an electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, infrared, or semiconductor system, apparatus, device, or propagation medium. More specific examples (a non-exhaustive list) of the compute...

Abstract

A method of implementing a user-defined environment for exercise includes specifying a course route with a course development tool, and designating additional parameters associated with the course route. The course route and additional parameters support simulation of exercise on a course corresponding to the specified court route and additional parameters.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Individuals training for a foot race on a specific route may not always have easy access to the physical terrain over which the race takes place. Many race courses have high vehicle traffic that is rerouted only during the actual race. Inclement weather may prevent training. In addition, the race course could be a long distance away from where the runner lives. For example, a runner could live in California but want to run the Boston Marathon.[0002]To improve their performance the competitors may want to simulate a course that corresponds to a future or past event. For example, race terrain can vary widely in difficulty due to elevation changes. For example, the course for an upcoming race could begin with relatively flat terrain and end with a large uphill climb. This would be far more difficult than a predominately flat course. To properly prepare for an upcoming race where it is not possible to train on the actual race course, runners may want to ...
