Know how your race will actually go.

Race execution is more than a prediction and a goal pace.

A pace calculator hands you a single number. Endurance-IQ models your physiology against your real race — course, weather, fuel — and gives you a goal range, the conditions that move it, the failure modes that could end your race early, and exactly how confident to be in each.

In early validation, EIQ's training-derived threshold estimate matched an athlete's race-proven fitness within seconds per mile — where a leading watch platform ran about 10 sec/mi optimistic on the same athlete.

Simulate before you commit

See mile 23 before you run mile 1.

Ten physiology models run in coupled simulation — heat, hydration, fueling, glycogen, durability — so a decision at the start shows its cost at the finish.

  • Drag the opening pace and see exactly what it costs — or saves — at the finish.
  • Stress-test the forecast. Slide humidity up 10% and see the window move before race morning does it for you.
  • Failure modes, not vibes. Hydration risk called at the plan; fueling gauges unlock as the model learns your gut.

Glycogen & GI gauges stay locked until the model earns your calibration — it won't pretend.

Fueling & hydration

A fuel plan your gut can actually absorb.

Carbohydrate absorption, fluid, and sodium are modeled together — because 85g/hr on paper means nothing if your gut taps out at mile 18.

  • Real products, not abstractions. The plan is built from your gels — Maurten, SiS, GU, Precision — with verified macros per serving.
  • GI load tracked through the race, so the plan backs off before distress ends your day.
  • Weigh 85g vs 65g per hour and see exactly where the trade-off starts to bite.

Projected GI load — unlocks with calibration

ComfortableDistress threshold

A model that learns you

Calibrated every run, not annually.

Every .FIT file you upload sharpens the model — heat sensitivity, sodium loss, GI tolerance, durability under load, pace anchors at real efforts.

  • Ranges narrow as evidence grows. A 20-miler with the last 8 at marathon pace teaches us more than any fitness chart.
  • Every number carries its provenance. You always know what's measured, what's derived, and what's still a default.
  • When we don't know, we say so — and the range widens honestly instead of pretending.

Lock it & race

The whole plan, on the start line.

Refine the analysis, then lock a phone-friendly race card — splits, fuel timing, and the two or three alerts that actually matter mid-race.

  • Segment paces for the course you're running, not a flat-earth average.
  • Fuel alerts pinned to the miles where the model says they're needed.
  • Debrief after, and the model gets sharper for your next race.

What we do differently

Ranges, not single numbers.

Most tools optimize one variable and call it a plan. We model the whole system — and we tell you where the evidence is thin.

01 — Coupled physiology

Heat, hydration, fueling, durability — together

Ten physiology models run in coupled simulation. Heat strain affects sodium loss, which affects GI tolerance, which affects fueling, which affects glycogen reserves. We don't isolate one signal and call it a plan.

02 — A model that learns you

Calibrated every run, not annually

Every run you upload shapes the model. A 20-mile run with the last 8 at marathon pace teaches us more about you than a generic fitness chart ever could.

03 — Honest about uncertainty

Every number shows how much evidence is behind it

When we don't know something, we say so. When evidence is thin, the ranges widen. When you give us calibration runs, they narrow. You always know what's proven and what still needs proof.

Tell us about you

Basics, recent PRs, your goal race and fueling approach.

02

Connect training

Upload .FIT files after runs so the model learns what's specific to you.

03

Build the analysis

Your model, run against your race. A goal range, explained.

04

Refine & lock
