Parrot Predictor (Read 1626 times)

    It would be great to have a Parrot Predictor feature, which would calculate the fastest time over any 26.2 miles in a given week. I realize that this is dependent on GPS and/or mile splits functionality, which is not yet there. However, I think it would be a great tool to have!

      In my case, you might want to use my 26.2 slowest miles.

        Trent, you just wanted to have your name across all forums tonight, didn't you? I can definitely add the Parrot Predictor. It would be neat to have a canned analysis page and have this as one of the reports. However, I won't be adding any new features until the GPS upload is done. The ability to select specific entries to upload added a little wrinkle and will take a little more time.

          My training partner and I were talking about this last night and how it would be great to have...

           

          Sorry to drag this up from so long ago, but I don't think it was ever implemented.

            I'd like to take this opportunity to request a Little Wayne Splits Parroter, which will read back your splits in Little Wayne's voice. Something along these lines.

              I could do without the Lil Wayve splits parroter, but a Parrott Predictor would be appreciated...

                I would like a marathon predictor for all manner of bipedal birds and dinosaurs.

                  Still leaning for the Parrott Predictor.

                   

                  Other bipedal birds and dinosaurs would be an added feature from my perspective...

                  You'll ruin your knees!

                    Well, I would want John Wayne's voice... since we're in the Wayne neighborhood.

                      I am still looking to have the system do a Parrott Calculation based on my 26.2 fastest miles in a week...

                            And since this has been resurrected, may I add that I have three parrots and they can be quite unpredictable.  I'm skeptical about this parrot predictor but willing to give it a shot.

                                Let me ask a clarifying question, in case I don't understand this.

                                 

                                Suppose I ran:

                                • 10mi easy on Monday
                                • 5mi tempo on Tuesday
                                • 10mi easy on Wednesday,
                                • 6mi steady-state on Thursday

                                 

                                The Parrot Predictor would use most of my Monday run, all of my Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday runs, to say how fast a "marathon" I ran, albeit with overnight aid station breaks?

                                 

                                Is there utility in this, or is this just for giggles?

                                It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
