This paper proposes a web-based community environment called “e-running” that supports the development of self-management for runners. The objective of the support is to promote the physical skill development which stabilizes their heart-rate by adjustments of their pace while running. In this scenario, runners wear GPS (Global Positioning System) and HRM (Heart Rate Monitor) in training, and after that, refer to the pace-simulation with avatars based on GPS data on the online community in order to remember their improvements toward the next training. In this simulation, runners are given a map-based annotation along with such improvement sections. Concretely speaking, an agent function provide opportunity to reflect upon the management of their pace and help the comprehension about the relationship between their heart-rate and their pace. It also covers a variety of landscape on the course as the environmental elements that affect their pace. We report the idea and design.
