The pulse drill is an interval type training drill, designed to improve and maintain the level of aerobic and anaerobic fitness by allowing the user to train during one drill in two of the primary training zones. The App is customizable so can drills can be modified to better suit your needs.

The drill typically starts with a long jog of 10min, and then follows a series of alternating intervals of jogging and running. During the intervals, it maintains a constant time period for each zones interval, i.e. at each new pulse (or interval) the time periods don’t change.

Using the In-App purchase feature can easily add random capabilities to vary the jog and run time intervals at random, as well as getting the TempoPulse. The latter allows to run at marathon pace during the fast interval.

Also, with the In-App you can add the features of our popular AeroRadar App to help you plan and set your training objectives.
