The newest version of PC Coach offers an enhanced interval graphing feature, as well as a few good bug fixes. Here are the highlights of version 4.1.

New Features
1. Support for laps within intervals, and multiple interval sessions.

If you are using a Polar S-Series heart rate monitor, you have access to a feature of that monitor called Interval Mode. This is a sophisticated training feature, but it also adds complexity both while working out and later at the computer. This set of features in PC Coach helps make this feature easier to use, and to understand your workout after you download it into PC Coach. Also, if you accidentally misuse the feature while working out, we correct it later to keep your reports correct.

Bug Fixes
1. Users who use Polar S510 or S710/S720 and who set the monitor to miles, but with a 24 hour clock, (as many users in the military would), saw an error in the cycling speed and distance reported. This problem has been fixed.

2. Users who use the Polar S510 or S710/S720 and who used the macro language for pulling average or max cycling speed information out of the workout saw an error in the returned value. This has been fixed.

3. Users whose computer has no C: drive saw an error message on startup. This problem has been fixed.

4. Users who use RCS to send the Mike Pigg Health Log to themselves or to their coach saw an error in the body weight value. This has been fixed.
