Dynamic speed and incline changes

Changing your speed/incline during your workout is something that you might need to do your run feels a little too easy or a little too hard.

Within Kinni, we have given you the option to change the incline or speed by preset amounts.

Adjusting the Workout

You can make speed or incline adjustments for specific Splits during the run. The run screen controls look a little different when you’re running a Workout: 

incline controls = orange

speed controls = blue 

The circled +/- values above the controls show your Workout adjustments.

 

Speed and incline controls also work differently when you’re running a Workout. Instead of setting the treadmill’s speed directly, they adjust the Workout’s splits.

So, if the current split is set to, for example:

Current Split
Adjustment
Actual value on the treadmill
Speed
5.0 kph
0
5.0 kph
Incline
3.0 %
0
3.0 %

 

If you were to tap the (speed -1) button twice, and the (incline +1) button once, this would adjust the treadmill as follows:

Current Split
Adjustment
Actual value on the treadmill
Speed
5.0 kph
-2
3.0 kph
Incline
3.0 %
+1
4.0 %

What makes this great is that these adjustments are remembered for the rest of the Workout. Meaning that when the next Split is triggered, the adjustments will remain, and automatically be applied.

So, for instance, if the next Split e.g. faster section, has a speed/incline of 10kph/5%, the table would look like this:

Current Split
Adjustment
Actual value on the treadmill
Speed
10.0 kph
-2
8.0 kph
Incline
5.0 %
+1
6.0 %

These adjustments are smart enough to never go beyond your treadmill’s maximum or minimums for speed and incline, so you can safely adjust them!

They also work for both metric and imperial units.
