Abstract

Systems and techniques for the collection and display of athletic information. Athletic data relating to a single person or group of people is collected at a central location, and subsequently displayed at a desired remote location so that the person or people can review and critique their performance. In addition, athletic data for multiple persons can be collected at a central location, and subsequently displayed to a user at a desired remote location, so that the user can compare his or her athletic activities to others.

         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the respective goal includes a total number of miles traversed in a predetermined time period. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the respective goal includes traversing a predetermined number of miles within a predefined time period. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the invite is transmitted via SMS. 
     
     
         8 . One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause at least one computing device to:
 receive, from a first computing device associated with a first user, identification of a plurality of users to invite to a competition, the plurality of users including the first user and a second user;   transmit, to a computing device associated with each user of the plurality of users, an invite to the competition;   responsive to receiving acceptance of the transmitted invite from at least the first computing device and a second computing device associated with the second user, receive, via a network, athletic activity data for each of the first user and the second user generated during performance of athletic activity of a first type on a plurality of dates, the athletic activity data being generated based on movement data captured by a first plurality of sensors of the first computing device and a second plurality of sensors of the second computing device;   aggregate the athletic activity data from the plurality of dates for each of the first user and the second user;   compare the aggregated athletic activity data from the plurality of dates for each of the first user and the second user to a respective goal for each of the first user and the second user;   determine, based on the comparing, progress toward the respective goal; and   display, on a display of at least one of the first computing device and the second computing device, the progress.   
     
     
         9 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 8 , wherein the first plurality of sensors and the second plurality of sensors are further configured to measure one or more operational parameters of a device being manipulated by a respective user. 
     
     
         10 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 9 , wherein the device being manipulated by the user is one of: a treadmill and a stationary bicycle. 
     
     
         11 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 8 , further including instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one computing device to:
 compare progress toward the respective goal for each of the first user and the second user to each other user to determine a ranking for each of the first user and the second user; and   display the ranking on a display of at least one of the first computing device and the second computing device.
