Race Intelligence

How Race Forecast and How Others Trained work.

Race Intelligence

Race Intelligence is a Premium feature that helps you prepare for upcoming races and review completed events.

You can access it from the main navigation: Race Intelligence.

What You Can Do

1) Race Forecast

Use Race Forecast to understand your position in a race field:

  • Add races and keep them organized in one place
  • See projected times for participants before race day
  • Compare your expected standing in the full field or your age group
  • View race metadata (date, distance, location) for quick context

2) Pace Calculator

Use Pace Calculator to estimate time, pace, or distance for any triathlon discipline:

  • Select sport: Run, Bike, or Swim
  • Enter any two of: time, pace (or speed for bike), distance
  • The third value is calculated automatically
  • Supports metric and imperial units

3) How Others Trained

Use How Others Trained to learn from athletes who completed similar race goals:

  • Select target distance
  • Filter by gender, age group, and finish-time band
  • See cohort median and spread for projected finish times
  • Open athlete prep snapshots to compare weekly volume, consistency, long-run frequency, and intensity mix

Key Details in Race Forecast

Upcoming races

  • Participant times are shown as:
    • PR: best known time at that distance
    • est.: estimated from available training history
  • vs You shows time difference relative to your projected result
  • Standing badges (for example, top 10% or mid-pack) summarize your current position

Completed races

  • If a race result is available, finish times are shown from recorded activities
  • Some finish times may appear as matched when the system links a likely result by race date and distance
  • If no result is available yet, athlete status remains registered/no result

Filters and Cohorts

In How Others Trained, filters are designed to keep cohorts meaningful:

  • Distance, gender, age group, and finish-time band can be combined
  • If a selected finish-time band is too narrow, the app may expand it slightly so results stay useful
  • Cohort snapshots show:
    • Comparable athlete count
    • Median projected finish
    • P25-P75 projected spread

Athlete Prep Snapshot

When you open an athlete from the cohort, you can view:

  • Average weekly distance
  • Runs per week
  • Consistency and long-run frequency
  • Estimated intensity mix (easy/moderate/hard) with confidence level
  • Week-by-week distance timeline across the prep window

You also get a short recommendation that helps you interpret whether your prep currently leans more toward volume, intensity, or balance.

Managing Races

You can:

  • Add a new race
  • Join an existing race
  • Edit race details (name, date, distance, location)
  • Delete a race (removes it for all participants)

Premium Access

Race Intelligence is available with Premium. If you do not have Premium, you will see an upgrade prompt inside the feature.
