Normalizing scores of one or more predefined segments to establish pace comparisons of actors that participate in physical activities on the predefined segments

A computer program product for comparing paces of multiple actors, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to:

• calculate or receive, by the computer, a normalized score for each segment of at least one route based on physical route conditions and environmental route conditions of the associated route;
• generate, by the computer, a pace comparison of multiple actors participating in a physical activity under different route conditions, the pace comparison being based on the normalized scores of the segments of the route associated with each respective actor and a pace of each respective actor on the respective route, wherein the pace comparison is generated while at least one actor of the multiple actors is participating in the physical activity on a respective route, wherein the pace of the at least one actor is received in real time of the participation in the physical activity on the respective route;
• and
• output, by the computer, the pace comparison to the at least one actor during the participation in the physical activity on the respective route, for allowing the at least one actor to comparatively train with a different one of the multiple actors participating in the physical activity on a different route.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• calculating or receiving a normalized score for each segment of a route based on physical route conditions and environmental route conditions of the associated route;
• calculating or receiving an actual pace of an actor participating in a physical activity on the route;
• generating a normalized pace of the actor participating in the physical activity on the route based on the actual pace and the normalized scores of the route, wherein the normalized pace of the actor is generated while the actor is participating in the physical activity on the route;
• and
• outputting the normalized pace to the actor during the participation in the physical activity on the route.
