ABSTRACT:
A pacing timer for a runner which includes an internal memory for storing split distances and target times as well as a variety of stride lengths which correspond to various speeds of the runner. The logic circuitry of the timer determines the runner's stride time in accordance with this data and sounds a repeating stride tone. A number of features are shown, including means for altering the stride time by activation of controls during the run, displaying distance traversed, a catch-up means for redefining the stride time so that the runner can recover lost time, means for displaying the runner's status at any given instant in regard to his target time, means for computing deficit times into target times for future splits so that the runner can get back on schedule or change schedule, and means for recording the runner's performance in the device's internal memory for output to a magnetic record member for storage and future use. Other features are disclosed such as pulse-rate monitoring in regard to a maximum pulse rate value entered into the device's memory.
