Hello,

After a long vacation from road running I decided to get back on the road. I needed a coach and I found the program Runcoach. Fantastic program! I plan to send the registration fee so I can use it until I get ready for my first official road race.

However, there is some confusion in regards to the interval part of the workout schedule.

For example, if the workout says:

Day Type Distance Pace Time Comments

Tue interval 5m 7m11s 36m 10minWU, 3x1600@7min9s, r9m30s, 10m CD

What does this mean?

Does this theoretical workout suggest that after 3 miles in 36 minutes,The athlete should ALSO complete a 3x 1600 in 7 min 9 s post 10 min WU.

Thank you in advance for clearing this matter, and continue making great inexpensive software.

Edwin
