Reading your sprint data
Personal bests, % of PB, the runs table, trend charts, history and the month recap: how to read what Metric Sprint gives you back.
Open a single run to see where its time went. Open the home chart to follow a training block, and History to look back a month at a time.
One run: where the time went
The clip sits at the top of the summary. Metric Sprint draws the skeleton, your gate lines and a live velocity readout over it, so the numbers play back with the run.
On a linear sprint, the splits card leads with your longest split as the headline. The shorter splits sit underneath it. Each split row shows its time and a coloured bar against your best. The Acceleration card comes next, with your peak velocity and speed curve. The Stride analysis and Sprint mechanics cards follow. See Sprint analytics.
Read the shape of that curve first. Speed climbs steeply off the start, then flattens into the top-speed zone on longer runs. On a 10 m run, the athlete should still be getting faster at the last gate.
An agility summary leads with the total. The Legs card then breaks the run into legs, and Lane Agility adds Lap 1 and Lap 2. A speed trace against time follows, with the turns marked.
After a repeat session, a Runs table sits above the clip, with one row per run. Tap a row to load that run. See Repeat runs.
A training block on the home screen
The header compares your first and last sprint days in the selected window, as one percentage with an arrow. It needs two or more sprint days in the window. Until then, it shows your latest result. For coaches, the header shows the average change across the athletes who have two or more sprint days.
Under the header, the performance chart plots one of three things. Pick it from the dropdown on the card.
- Splits — your times. Lower is better, so improvement runs downhill.
- Velocity — peak velocity, separated by run distance. Top speed off a 10 m run and off a 30 m run are different numbers. Improvement runs uphill.
- COD deficit, COD deficit % — the turn cost from your 5-0-5 (Flying) runs. See Sprint metrics.
The pills under the chart narrow it to one test. A pill appears once you have data for it in the window. Before that, a new athlete sees 5m, 10m, 20m, 5105 and T test.
| Pill | Test |
|---|---|
| 5m, 10m, 15m, 20m, 30m | Each split |
| 505 | 5-0-5 (Stationary) |
| 505F | 5-0-5 (Flying) |
| 5105 | 5-10-5 Pro Agility |
| T test | T-Test |
| Mod T | Modified T-Test |
| NBA | Lane Agility |
The window defaults to six weeks. Shorten it to look at one block. Lengthen it to look at a season.
Personal bests and % of PB
Metric Sprint shows each result as a percentage of your best. The percentage shows as a ring on the hero card and as a bar on each split row.
- 100% — you matched your best.
- Above 100% — you set a new best, and the result picks up a star.
- Below 100% — the number shows how close you got.
Metric Sprint records a personal best on these numbers:
- Each split — 0–5 m, 0–10 m, 0–15 m, 0–20 m and 0–30 m.
- Flying 10 m — the faster of 10–20 m and 20–30 m.
- Each agility test — its total time. Every test keeps its own best.
- 10 m approach — from the 5-0-5 (Flying) only.
Metric Sprint files splits by distance, not by test. A 0–5 m split inside a 30 m run competes for the same personal best as a standalone 5 m sprint.
Month by month
The calendar card on the home screen shows the last four weeks, with your active days filled in. Beside it sit your test count and your weekly streak.
Tap All history to see every test, grouped by month. Each row shows the test name, the date and the headline number. In a repeat session, every run is its own row. To delete a test, swipe left on its row, tap the bin and confirm. Metric Sprint deletes the test and its times for good.
Each month opens with a recap card, above that month’s tests. Before the recap unlocks, the card counts you towards it, for example 1 of 3 tests or 1 of 2 test days. It also shows your best result so far. The recap unlocks once the month holds three tests, or tests on two different days.
An unlocked card shows a calendar of the month with your test days filled in, and four tiles:
- Tests — how many tests you saved.
- Runs — how many runs those tests held.
- Distance — the ground you covered at speed, in metres or kilometres. An agility test counts every leg of the course.
- New PRs — the personal bests you set that month.
Tap the card to open the full recap. It leads with your best result on the test you ran most that month. One line compares it with your last run, your best, or last month. Below that sit a frame from your best run and up to three of the month’s records.
Tap Share to send the recap as an image, or Save to put it in your camera roll. In Coach Mode, the recap carries the athlete’s name.
The month recap comes with Pro and Ultra. See Subscriptions.
Coach a roster
Coaches get a leaderboard on the home screen, beside the chart. It ranks the roster on the metric and the window you selected. Both views share that selection, so changing the metric in one changes the other.
Each athlete also has a profile with their personal bests and their recent sprints. If Metric Sprint saved a run to the wrong athlete, change the athlete from the run’s summary.
