Abstract:
1. A method of calibration relating to monitoring athletic performance of a user, the method comprising the steps of: receiving, by a computing device, athletic performance data from an athletic performance monitoring device, wherein the athletic performance data corresponds to athletic activity performed by the user traversing a known distance, wherein the computing device is physically separable from the athletic performance monitoring device; determining the known distance based on an average distance traversed for a plurality of prior athletic performances; determining, by the computing device, a distance traversed as measured by the athletic performance monitoring device to provide a measured value; adjusting, by the computing device, the measured value to correspond to the known distance; determining, by the computing device, a calibration value based on the adjustment of the measured value; and storing the calibration value to the athletic performance device in a manner such that the athletic performance monitoring device uses the calibration value to record future athletic performance data.
