Collection and display of athletic information

A non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause an apparatus to:

• receive a first athletic data set from one or more sensors and corresponding to athletic activity performed over a first time period, the first athletic data set including a plurality of athletic activity metrics;
• receive a request from a user to compare the first athletic data set with one or more athletic data sets of a plurality of athletic data sets;
• in response to receiving the request, automatically determine, for the first athletic data set, a metric-specific category classification of a plurality of metric-specific categories, wherein each metric-specific category of the plurality of metric-specific categories is defined by a predetermined numeric value for that metric-specific category , and wherein determining the metric-specific category classification comprises:
• comparing a measured numeric value, of a first athletic activity metric of the plurality of athletic activity metrics, with a plurality of predetermined numeric values for the first athletic activity metric;
• determining, based on the comparing, that the measured numeric value of the first athletic activity metric is proximal to a first predetermined numeric value of the plurality of predetermined numeric values, wherein the first predetermined numeric value defines a first metric-specific category;
• and
• responsive to determining that the measured numeric value is proximal to the first predetermined numeric value, classifying the first athletic data set under the first metric-specific category;
• automatically identify each athletic data set of the plurality of athletic data sets that has the same metric-specific category classification as the first athletic data set;
• automatically determine, from the identified athletic data sets, a second athletic data set, the second athletic data set corresponding to athletic activity performed over a second time period different from the first time period, and wherein the second athletic data set has the best numeric value of a second athletic activity metric among the plurality of athletic data sets;
• and
• generate a display including at least a portion of the first athletic data set simultaneously with at least a portion of the second athletic data set.

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a first athletic data set from one or more sensors and corresponding to athletic activity performed over a first time period, the first athletic data set including a plurality of athletic activity metrics;
• receive a request from a first user to compare the first athletic data set with one or more athletic data sets of a plurality of athletic data sets;
• in response to receiving the request, automatically determine, for the first athletic data set, a metric-specific category classification of a plurality of metric-specific categories, wherein each metric-specific category of the plurality of metric-specific categories is defined by a predetermined numeric value for that metric-specific category, and wherein determining the metric-specific category classification comprises:
• comparing a measured numeric value, of a first athletic activity metric of the plurality of athletic activity metrics, with a plurality of predetermined numeric values for the first athletic activity metric;
• determining, based on the comparing, that the measured numeric value of the first athletic activity metric is proximal to a first predetermined numeric value of the plurality of predetermined numeric values, wherein the first predetermined numeric value defines a first metric-specific category;
• and
• responsive to determining that the measured numeric value is proximal to the first predetermined numeric value, classifying the first athletic data set under the first metric-specific category;
• automatically identify each athletic data set of the plurality of athletic data sets that has the same metric-specific category classification as the first athletic data set;
• automatically determine, from the identified athletic data sets, a second athletic data set, the second athletic data set corresponding to athletic activity performed over a second time period different from the first time period, and wherein the second athletic data set has the best numeric value of a second athletic activity metric among the plurality of athletic data sets;
• and
• generate a display including at least a portion of the first athletic data set simultaneously with at least a portion of the second athletic data set.
