Placed in this section as timing can be stated to be part pf training theory, also its all encompassing not just specific to sprints etc.

I and a few others on this forum have been privileged to get a heads up on this app and also be part of the beta test.

Myself had great success in using this against electronic timing and also against my freelap (which i still love BTW).

But this development in app software and use is truelly brilliant IMO.

Incidently if your not aware of Sten’s work in apps he has a few other applications that are applicable for the athletic training world. A favorite of mine is the sprint timer which incorporate a starter with reaction time by simply placing the phone on the blocks 🙂 great fun for kids and the adult kids too.

The only limitation at present is these are only available to Apple products (iphone/ipad) and not android.

Concur completely with your review on speedendurance.com as well as in this blog. We’ve been using Sten’s apps for over two years beginning with the Speed Clock. Last spring we demoed and later adopted the sprintTimer application for use in our dual meets.

This winter we were able to test the startSender function, which improved the quality of our acceleration work during a critical phase of training.

As mentioned, I like the thinking that Sten puts to these applications and the myriad of functions that can be executed on apps such as fitnessMeter, for example. I’m also not sure that sprintTimer’s functionality will end with this latest add-on either!
