The AeroTrainerPlus App bundles five training drills in one App: fartlek, pulse, pyramid, tempo runs and repetition sprints. Also, it bundles our popular AeroRadar App. These drills were designed to improve and maintain the level of aerobic and anaerobic fitness by allowing the user to train in one drill in two or more of the primary training zones.
Advanced and experienced athletes can create their own versions of any of the drills by modifying several parameters.

Fartlek Drill
Fartlek, which means "speed play" in Swedish, is a form of interval training that uses the body's energy systems at varying intensities and time periods. It allows training during one drill in the four primary training zones, better mimicking one's sports specific energy demands.
The Fartlek Drill can select the intensities (paces) and time periods in a random manner based on the user selected sport and fitness or difficulty level.
If you have purchased our FartlekDrill App, you can upgrade to the AeroTrainerPlus features by selecting the “More Apps” function. Visit our FarlekDrill App for a description of the Fartlek Drill features.
Pulse Drill
The Pulse Drill is an interval training drill, designed to train in one drill in two of the primary training zones. In this drill, the interval periods for each zone are kept constant throughout the drill.
Pyramid Drill
The Pyramid Drill is an interval training drill, kind of an inverted pyramid, where for the fast pace interval the time increases at each new stage up to a maximum value and then decreases down to the starting point. In this drill, the interval periods for the slow pace are either kept constant or varied equal to the fast pace interval.
Tempo Run
The Tempo Run Drill is designed to train in zone 2 of the primary training zones. The drill starts with a jog at a marathon, which is then followed by a recovery easy jog, continued by a second hard jog. It can also be used for training over distance (long runs) at an easy pace (training zone 1).
Repetition Sprints
The Repetition Sprints Drill is designed to develop absolute speed. It is a drill where several reps of sprints between 5 to 100 m sprints are made with maximum recovery in between sprints.
The App includes a "Quick Coach" to facilitate selection of drill parameters based on the user's fitness or difficulty level.
Also, using the "Utilities" function, you can register as a member to our website, free of any membership fees, and have access to several useful resources.
