Twice a week, you run in the hills behind your house and you use the chronograph
to time your workout. You have divided the run into four segments:
1) from your house to the beginning of the hill,
2) from the bottom of the hill to the top of the hill,
3) from the top of the hill back down, and finally
4) from the end of the hill back home. At each of these landmarks, you press the
START button to begin timing a new lap. After five weeks of storing the same
workout, you are able to track your progress over time to see whether or not your
time is improving for each of the lap segments.
