PACING TRAINING SYSTEM
20230144722 · 2023-05-11 ·

A pacing system signals runners with lights indicating if the runner is ahead or behind a preset pace as the runner proceeds around a running track. The system includes a controller that provides pace setting, start, stop, pause, and reset functions; pacing stations (e.g., 20) that are placed at intervals around the running track; and a cart for transport and battery charging. Paces are setup in the controller with a specific number of laps and a time per lap. Bright LED lights in LED matrices in the pacing stations signal the runners outdoors in sunlight. The controller wirelessly communicates with the pacing stations to signal the pacing stations to light at intervals determined by the preset pace. The system may support two or more simultaneous paces and variable pacing per lap to accommodate multiple runners.

The device is comprised of two panels in the shape of “L”s that are interwoven with each other when they are placed on the sides of a fence. The device is secured to the ground through a series of holes for that purpose. Additionally, an expander has been placed on the section of the device, both vertical and horizontal, to address the issue of uneven terrain. A row of embedded lights is installed in each of the horizontal panels to provide additional illumination. Alternatively, a series of embedded wires may be installed in the horizontal panels that rest on the ground to provide a small (but not deadly) shock to prevent animals from entering the yard or preventing a family pet from leaving the yard.
