Guide TRACK RETURN INTERVAL PROTOCOLS SMARTSPEED AND SMARTSPEED LITE Track return drills use 2 gates per lane to run automated interval protocols One example is included pre installed in the software however users can create new protocol with different repetition numbers and work rest ratios Unlike Standard Timing drills Track Return drills allow athlete to run in either direction in the lane therefore they can run one way rest and then return the other way in the next period PROTOCOL VARIATIONS Users can create new protocols by entering the NEW Protocol menu and choosing Track return Interval Drills as the parent drill New protocols can then be created by changing the following settings 1 Subsessions the number of repetitions to be completed 2 Period the total time for each interval including the sprint and the remaining recovery period Athletes must perform one sprint during each period and have the remainder of the period to rest IMPORTANT NOTE FIXED RECOVERY PROTOCOLS Track return protocols used a fixed PERIOD method i e if the period is 30 seconds and the athlete sprints for 6 seconds they then have the remaining 24seconds to recover This method allows SMARTSPEED to run up to 8 lanes at the same time on one PDA as all lanes can run off the same master countdown clock Some protocols however use fixed recovery periods for example no matter how long the athlete takes to perform the
