The device is a handheld calculating machine with memory that is specifically designed to calculate the split times for runners, swimmers, and bicyclist. The handheld device is programmed such that a coach can input the distance of the race, the time the athlete wishes to run the race, and the distance of the split, and the handheld device will calculate the time in which the runner needs to run the splits. The handheld device is also designed with a memory. A coach can keep the split times on many athletes and/or the split times for an athlete who runs several races. The handheld device can be a specific device designed for this use or a Smartphone or a tablet computer such as the iPad which runs a program to calculate the split times. |

1. A running calculator comprising:
a. a housing; b. an off on button on the front of the housing; c. a numeric set of keys on the front of the housing; d. an enter button on the front of the housing; e. a set of keys that represent the distances of races on the front of the housing; f. a set of keys that represent the distances of splits on the front of the housing; g. screen that can represent numerical characters on the front of the housing; h. circuitry within the housing for displaying the numeral of the numeric key imputed on the screen; i. internal calculating circuitry within the housing and connected electronically to the numeric set of keys, the set of key that represent the distances of races, and a set of keys that represent the distances of splits and the screen that can calculate the split time of an individual when inputted as follows:
1. entering the time the individual wants to run the race through the numeric set of keys;2. entering the distance of the race through the numeric set of keys that represent the distance of the races;3. entering the distance of splits through the set of keys that represent the distance of splits; j. wherein the internal calculating circuitry receives the inputs and calculates the split time and displays the split time upon the screen; k. a store button on the front of the housing; l. a set of keys that allows the input of letters; m. circuitry within the housing for displaying the imputed letters from the set of the keys on the screen; n. a set of keys that allows correction of the characters on the screen; o. internal memory circuitry within the housing that allow the storage and retrieval of information and is connected electronically to the numeric set of keys, the set of key that represent the distances of races, and the set of keys that represent the distances of splits, the mode key, the set of keys that allows correction of the characters on the screen, set of keys that allows the input of letters and the screen; p. a mode button on the front of the housing which can activates the internal memory when pressed; q. wherein when the mode button is pressed and it activates the internal memory circuitry, an individual's name can be entered through inputs from the set of keys that represent letters, a goal time which the individual wish to run the race can be entered through inputs form the numeric set of keys, and a distance for the race the individual runs can be entered though the input of the set of keys that represent the distances of races, and upon pressing the store button this information will be stored within the internal memory circuitry for future display on the screen with individuals split times calculated for the race. |
