The GRAPHIC COACH is an example of user-supported software,
software provided at low cost and with the opportunity for
the user to test the product before purchasing. User
supported software "banks" on the user's integrity to
actually purchase products which he or she finds useful. If
user supported software as a whole thrives, it means that
all users will continue to benefit from affordable and
useful software. If user supported software authors are not
reimbursed, users will have no choice but to pay top dollar
for software which may or may not end up being useful to

The GRAPHIC COACH provides serious runners of all abilities
an easy and inexpensive way to monitor their current
training, compare current training to their past progress
and plan their training to improve future fitness and race
performance. It utilizes the potential of computer database
and graphics functions as a personal coach of the user.
GRAPHIC COACH:
Calculates the pace (minutes per mile) for each
training and racing day.
Graphs the pace and distance for each day's run
relative to the average pace and reports the total
milage, for each month.
Presents a table of any month listing the exact pace
and distance of the runs, the average training pace for
that month and the total distance run for the month.
Graphs the monthly average pace and miles run per month
for the whole year. Reports the cumulative miles run
per year.
Presents a table of elapsed time, distance and pace for
each race run in a year (up to 68 races).
Calculates and displays a specific training schedule
(distance, pace and number of runs) for the next week,
based on most recent 5K or 10K race elapsed time. The
training schedule is based on calculated aerobic
capacities and maximizes the training effect.
On VGA/EGA compatible systems, systematically uses
color to indicate length of run, average pace, and
total miles run.
REQUIREMENTS:
GRAPHIC COACH requires an IBM PC (or compatible) with a
graphics adapter (CGA, EGA or VGA) or a Compaq
computer, one disk drive, and PC or MS DOS 2.0 or
higher. Computers with Hercules graphics adaptors may
be able to run this program by obtaining a CGA
simulation program available on most computer bulletin
boards.
GETTING STARTED:
Make a backup of GRAPHIC COACH for your everyday use
and save the original disk for safekeeping. Installing
DOS will allow you to start your computer with the
GRAPHIC COACH backup disk.
FLOPPY DISK INSTALLATION
Installing DOS (optional).
For PC DOS:
1) Boot with DOS in floppy drive A and get the A>.
2) If you have two floppy drives place a formatted
disk in drive B. (If you have only one floppy drive,
don't worry, DOS will tell you when to put each disk in
your drive.)
3) Type at the A> B:SETUP and press enter.
4) When the process is complete, the message "1 file
copied" will appear.
For MS DOS:
1) Format a new disk with the format /s command.
2) Copy the file COMMAND.COM to the newly formatted
disk.
II. Copying GRAPHIC COACH
For 2 floppy drive systems:
1. Insert the original GRAPHIC COACH disk in drive A.
2. Insert the future backup disk in drive B.
3. Type at the A> copy a:*.* b: and press enter.
For 1 floppy drive systems:
1. Insert the original GRAPHIC COACH disk in drive A.
2. Type at the A> copy a:*.* b: and press enter.
You will be prompted when to change floppy disks so
that all the files can be copied. Remember: "Source
disk" refers to the original GRAPHIC COACH disk, and
"target disk" refers to your future backup copy.
Verifying backup
Place the backup disk in drive A and type at the A> dir
and press enter.
A list of files should be displayed which will include
the file coach4-1.exe. This file on the backup disk
will verify that the backup was successful.
HARD DISK INSTALLATION
1) From the root directory of the hard disk (C:\), make
a subdirectory for GRAPHIC COACH. Use the DOS command
MD SUBDIRECTORYNAME, for example, MD COACH.
2) Use the command CD SUBDIRECTORYNAME (ex. CD COACH)
to move to that subdirectory.
3) Put the original GRAPHIC COACH disk in drive a: and
type copy a:*.*. This will copy the necessary files to
the GRAPHIC COACH subdirectory.
USING GRAPHIC COACH:
Floppy Disk Systems
Using the back-up disk prepared above, GRAPHIC COACH
may be started in two ways.
1) If DOS was copied to a floppy backup disk you may
boot your computer with this backup disk and a batch
file (included on disk) will automatically start
GRAPHIC COACH after logging the date and time.
2) If DOS was not copied to the backup disk type at the
A> COACH4-1 and press enter.
Hard Disk Systems
1) Use the CD SUBDIRECTORYNAME
2) Type COACH4-1 and press enter.
