Abstract: A method and system is presented that may be used for providing workouts. The system includes a plurality of units, or “cones,” which may be placed on a field. The units are in wireless communication with a hand-held device, which may facilitate the setting up and running of workouts. In one embodiment, the units are placed in a layout on a field, and a sequence of units is actuated to signal the user to move towards particular units. The units also contain devices that sense the presence of the user. In certain embodiments, the system modifies the pattern during a run using an artificial intelligence algorithm. In other embodiments, the units include devices that may be used to trilateralize the positions of the devices using acoustic ranging.
