In this article, we will share how the athlete will view the velocity-based parameters in their programming. We show %velocity for distance and %velocity for time.
%Velocity for Distance
Parameter Order:
Distance
Velocity Target
Time Target
How It Works:
When %Velocity for Distance is prescribed, the coach sets the distance target, and the velocity and time targets are automatically calculated based on the prescribed %velocity and the athlete's test results.
Test Data:
If no test data is available, the velocity target will be displayed as a percentage of maximum effort.
Adjusting the Time Target:
Athletes can view the target time needed to complete a specified distance (e.g., 2 miles in this example). By selecting the time field, athletes can adjust the time to match their actual performance or view more details about the prescribed set.
Ranges:
If you prescribe a velocity range, athletes will see both the target velocity and the full range displayed below the set. This includes the calculated %velocity and the corresponding time, based on the prescribed range.
Example:
If you prescribe 85% velocity with a ±5% range, the display will show 85% velocity along with the ±5% range (equivalent to a 80-90% velocity range) below.
%Velocity for Time
Parameter Order:
Time
Velocity Target
Distance Target
How It Works:
When %Velocity for Time is prescribed, the coach sets the time target, and the velocity and distance targets are calculated based on the prescribed %velocity and the athlete's test results.
Test Data:
If no test data is available, the velocity target will be displayed as a percentage of maximum effort.
Adjusting the Distance Target:
Athletes can adjust the distance target to match their actual distance. The velocity target will automatically update based on this adjustment.
Ranges:
If you prescribe a velocity range, athletes will see both the target velocity and the full range displayed below the set. This includes the calculated %velocity and the corresponding distance, based on the prescribed range.
Example:
If you prescribe 85% velocity with a ±5% range, the display will show 85% velocity along with the ±5% range (equivalent to a 80-90% velocity range) below.
