I decided that with Around the Bay 2020 just five months away, it would be a good idea to start tracking my runs in terms of an ATB training program, naming each run in terms of which week of training it falls in, and which consecutive run it is during that week. So the first run of the first week would be 1-1, and the third run of the second week would be 2-3, and so on.</p> <p>Strava gives you some pretty good information in its running analysis, but I'm also interested in increasing my cadence toward 180 steps per minute, since this seems to be the most fruitful opportunity to increase my cruising speed. Strava does not calculate steps (one point for Runkeeper), but my Fitbit does, and I can use that value in combination with distance and time to calculate cadence and stride length.</p> <p>This is a bit tedious to do manually, so I have created a form where you input your steps, distance and time (in hours, minutes and seconds) and it calculates the rest for you.</p> <script type="text/javascript"> function calculate_running() { var steps = parseInt($('#calc_steps').val()); logit('steps = ' + steps); var distance = parseFloat($('#calc_distance').val()); logit('distance = ' + distance); var distance_metres = distance * 1000; logit('distance_metres = ' + distance_metres); var hours = parseInt($('#calc_hours').val()); logit('hours = ' + hours); var minutes = parseInt($('#calc_minutes').val()); logit('minutes = ' + minutes); var seconds = parseInt($('#calc_seconds').val()); logit('seconds = ' + seconds); var time_hours = hours + minutes/60 + seconds/60/60; logit('time_hours = ' + time_hours); var time_minutes = hours*60 + minutes + seconds/60; logit('time_minutes = ' + time_minutes); var speed = distance/time_hours; logit('speed = ' + speed); var pace = time_minutes / distance; logit('pace = ' + pace); var pace_minutes = Math.floor(pace); logit('pace_minutes = ' + pace_minutes); var pace_seconds = Math.round((pace - pace_minutes)* 60) logit('pace_seconds = ' + pace_seconds); var pace_text = pace_minutes.toString() + ':' + padit(pace_seconds, 2); logit('pace_text = ' + pace_text); var cadence = Math.round(steps / time_minutes); logit('cadence = ' + cadence); var stride_length = (distance_metres / steps).toFixed(2); logit('stride_length = ' + stride_length); var statement = commas(steps).toString() + ' steps for a cadence of ' + cadence.toString() + ' steps/min and a stride length of ' + stride_length.toString() + ' m/step with a speed of ' + speed.toFixed(2) + ' km/h and a pace of ' + pace_text + ' min/km.'; logit('statement = ' + statement); $('#output_distance_m').html(distance_metres); $('#output_time_hours').html(time_hours.toFixed(2)); $('#output_time_minutes').html(time_minutes.toFixed(2)); $('#output_speed').html(speed.toFixed(2)); $('#output_pace').html(pace_text); $('#output_cadence').html(cadence); $('#output_stride_length').html(stride_length); $('#output_statement').html(statement); } function logit(val) { return false; } function padit(val, size) { var s = '00000000' + val; return s.substr(s.length-size); } function commas(x) { return x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ","); } </script> <form> <table style="width: 400px"> <tr><th>Steps</th><td><input name="calc_steps" id="calc_steps" value="8331"></td></tr> <tr><th>Distance (km)</th><td><input name="calc_distance" id="calc_distance" value="9.5"></td></tr> <tr><th>Hours</th><td><input name="calc_hours" id="calc_hours" value="0"></td></tr> <tr><th>Minutes</th><td><input name="calc_minutes" id="calc_minutes" value="52"></td></tr> <tr><th>Seconds</th><td><input name="calc_seconds" id="calc_seconds" value="40"></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center !important"><input type="button" name="calculate" id="calculate" value="Calculate" onclick="calculate_running(); return false" style="width: 90%; height: 2em"></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" style="font-weight: bold; text-align: centre !important">Calculations</td><tr> <tr><th>Dist (m)</th><td id="output_distance_m"></td></tr> <tr><th>Time (hours)</td><td id="output_time_hours"></td></tr> <tr><th>Time (mins)</th><td id="output_time_minutes"></td></tr> <tr><th>Speed (km/h)</th><td id="output_speed"></td></tr> <tr><th>Pace (min/km)</th><td id="output_pace"></td></tr> <tr><th>Cadence (steps/min)</th><td id="output_cadence"></td></tr> <tr><th>Stride Length (m)</th><td id="output_stride_length"></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" id="output_statement"></td></tr> </table> </form> Ryan McGreal 2 http://quandyfactory.com/projects/150/tracking_movement 2015-06-14T12:00:00Z <p>I've been tracking my daily/weekly running and stepcounts.
