INTRODUCTION This document is also available from within the program by pressing the Help Key "F1". This program is written in Clipper. Therefore the log.dbf can be accessed if you have Dbase III + so you can further manipulate the information or export it to other formats. I am a business programmer and have been running since I was twelve. I ran the New York City Marathon when I was 15 and used Jim Fixx's Daily Log & Calendar to track my runs. At many times I wished there was some way to get averages for the week, month, etc. and list my runs by certain criteria so I developed the Cycler's Log. The program started out simple but grew into a commercial venture. It was then converted to the Cycler's Log because of popular demand. If you have any ideas for improvements or additions drop me a note and maybe you'll see it in an update. Larry Hack, HACKSOFT Inc. 3139 US 31 N Niles, MI 49120 Telephone (616)683-7908 THE MAIN MENU Use the arrow keys to highlight your selection and then press "Enter", or simply press the first letter or number corresponding to that selection. If you have a mouse and would like to use it with the Cycler's Log you can run mousekey.com first and then start the Cycler's Log. You'll have to experiment with this to see if you want to use it. At any "press any key to continue" prompt, if you move the mouse, the program advances to the next screen which can be a bit annoying. EDITING This is mainly useful when entering notes from selection #1 (Adding Rides to the Cycler's Log). The End key takes you to the end of the line, the Home key takes you to the beginning of the line, the PgUp key takes you to the top of the notes, the PgDn key to the bottom. the Ctrl key plus Y erases to the end of the line and the Ctrl key plus U erases the entire line. Some of these features are also available in selection #2 (Display or Print Specific Rides). 1. ADDING RIDES TO THE Cycler's Log You will be presented with a screen that starts with the cursor on the date field. This field will contain that days date. Simply press "Enter" to accept that date or change it to whatever date you want. After RACE enter T or F for true (yes, this is a race) or false (no it is not a race). The next field is the distance. A number must be entered here. (Note: you can enter this in either miles or kilometers, just be consistent. For instance you can put 10 or 6.2 for a 10k ride. The result will be the same. But only do this if you enter all of your other rides in the same manner.) The next field is the time. You don't have to enter anything here. If you don't, this rides time would not be averaged when you select 2 or 3 form the main menu. this ensures that you get an accurate average. The rides are still listed and it's distance added to the total distance. Next your asked if you want to enter your splits. This is for each mile's or km's. time or accumulated time. Next enter your weight. This is used to figure your calorie count. Then you can enter notes on the ride like, weather, where you ran, thoughts, etc. Then your asked if you want to store the ride to the Cycler's Log. If you type "N" the ride will not be stored. This allows for a "What-if", so you can test certain situations and get an average pace. 2. DISPLAYING SPECIFIC RIDES This selection gives you a screen that you "fill in the blanks" to get a list of any combination of rides and their total combined distance and average pace. You can select from distance, ie; rides between 5 and 10 miles, Time, ie; under 1 hour, Dates, ie; all rides in June, 1988, And pace. You can select rides from any combination of these items. In front of the item is a 1 space field that you can place an operator. Greater than >, less than <, equal =, not equal # or press "Enter" for no search on that field. Pressing "Enter" for every field would give you every ride. You are then asked if you want the list for 1)Races 2)Workouts or 3) both. Simply select the one that you want. You may also have the list sorted by fasted to slowest average times. You can have the report sent to the screen or the screen and printer. 3. DISPLAY ALL RIDES Displays all rides, the date, their total distance, time, average pace, and if it is a race. 4. DISPLAY BEST TIMES You are asked here if you want the list for 1)Races 2)Workouts or 3) both. Simply select the one that you want. At the next prompt enter the distance that you want to see your best rides for. Next, select the number of rides you want listed (the default is 10) You will then be asked if you want a printed report also. Type either "Y" or "N" for yes or no. It will show you your fastest rides of that distance in order from fastest to slowest. For instance, if you entered 8 you would get a list of your top 8 mile or km. rides and the record number, date, time, and pace for those rides in order from fastest to slowest to either the screen or the screen and printer. 5. PAGE THROUGH RIDES At the prompt enter the record number you want to start with and that ride will be displayed. Pressing the PgUp or PgDn key will show you the previous or the next ride. The Esc key will take you back to the Main Menu. 6. DELETE RIDES FROM CYCLER'S LOG At the first prompt enter the beginning record number to be deleted. At the second prompt enter the ending record number to be deleted. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DELETING RIDES! ONCE YOU DELETE THEM THEY ARE GONE FOREVER! Every record between your first and second entry will be deleted. You will be prompted after you enter the two record numbers if you are sure you want to delete these records. Enter "Y" or "N" for Yes delete rides or No do not delete rides. I strongly recommend that you make frequent back- ups of the log.dbf file so if you ever make a mistake you can simply copy this file back to where you have the other Cycler's Log files. The record numbers can be found when you select number 2 "DISPLAY OR PRINT SPECIFIC RIDES", number 3 "DISPLAY OR PRINT ALL RIDES" and number 4 "PAGE THROUGH RIDES". The record number is on the top left corner of the screen when "PAGING THROUGH RIDES". 7. EXIT CYCLER'S LOG Returns you to the operating system.
