These goal oriented workouts are designed for runners training for races. The programs create realistic terrains by setting dif-
ferent incline levels throughout the course. Incline grades depend on the difficulty levels selected during the workout setup. A
1.5 percent incline grade, which is the baseline level, simulates a flat running surface. A zero percent grade simulates running
downhill. Incline durations range between 30 and 60 seconds. The course ends when the goal is met. The following Sport
