The AeroTrainerPlus App includes several high intensity interval training runs in one App. The runs were designed to improve and maintain the level of aerobic and anaerobic fitness by allowing the user to train in a workout in two or more of the primary training zones. Advanced and experienced athletes can customize any of the standard runs.
Fartlek Drill
Fartlek, which means "speed play" in Swedish, is a form of interval training in which you use the bodys energy systems alternating intensities and time durations during the workout.. This puts the body’s energy systems under a acyclic stress, better mimicking sports specific energy demands. With the Fartlek Drill you can train in several modes making each run different.
Visit our Fartlek Drill App for a more detailed description of the Fartlek Drill features.
Pulse Drill
The Pulse Drill is an interval training drill, designed to train during a workout in two of the primary training zones. In this drill, the interval periods for each zone are kept constant throughout the drill. There is also a random mode that varies within a small range the time periods. This is ideal for team sports where typically the intensities vary at random.
Pyramid Drill
The Pyramid Drill is an interval training drill, like an inverted pyramid, where the fast pace interval time increases at each new stage up to a maximum duration and then decreases down to the starting duration. In this drill, the interval periods for the slow pace are either kept constant or varied equally to the fast pace interval.
Tempo Run
The Tempo Run Drill is designed to train in zone 2 (marathon pace) of the primary training zones. The workout starts with a jog at marathon pace, which is then followed by a recovery easy jog, continued by a second hard jog. It can also be used for training over distance (long runs) at an easy pace (training zone 1).
Repetition Sprints
The Repetition Sprints Drill is designed to develop absolute speed. It is a workout where several reps of sprints are made with maximum recovery in between sprints.
The App includes a "Quick Setup" to facilitate selection of run parameters based on the users fitness or difficulty level.
Using the In-App Upgrades you can upgrade the App to include the Training Zones Module. This module allows you to configure a time distribution scheme and save it as a sport, which can be used it in any run as you use the default sports.
