How it works.

Three ways in, depending on where you are now. Each one ends the same way: a plan you tick off, and a predicted finish worked out from what you run.

I'm starting out.

No plan yet. RacePacer builds one around your race and the time you want.

  1. Step 1 of 4

    Build a plan around your goal

    Tell it your race, the date and a recent time. Every week is worked back from the pace your goal needs.

    The plan builder: marathon chosen, plan named Dublin Marathon, race date set, 16 weeks picked.
  2. Step 2 of 4

    Change it without starting over

    Move a run, change a distance or ask for a bigger rethink. Weeks you have logged stay as they were, and every change saves a version you can go back to.

    Editing week 5: easy run, tempo run and long run, each with a handle to reorder and a menu to change it.
  3. Step 3 of 4

    Tick off what you ran

    Each week shows what is planned and why. Mark sessions as you run them and log the week in about 30 seconds.

    This week in the training view: easy 11 km, tempo 9 km, long run 16 km, and a Log this week button.
  4. Step 4 of 4

    Sync your runs, watch the number move

    Sync your runs and RacePacer reads the distance, the pace and the fast reps inside your intervals. Log the week and your predicted finish updates from what you actually ran. Compatible with Strava.

    The race prediction: goal 3:45:00, predicted 3:38:06 with a range of 3:20 to 4:09, 6 minutes 54 seconds ahead of goal.
Check your goal time first

I have a plan.

Keep the plan you trust. RacePacer tracks it and tells you whether it is getting you to your time.

  1. Step 1 of 3

    Bring the plan you follow

    A spreadsheet, a PDF, photos of a printed page, or text pasted from anywhere, Google Sheets included. RacePacer reads it into weeks and sessions exactly as written, and you check anything it was unsure of before the plan starts.

    Bring your own plan: a week of sessions pasted as text, with a Read my plan button.
  2. Step 2 of 3

    Tick off what you ran

    Your sessions, your paces, kept as written. Mark them off as you run them and log each week in about 30 seconds.

    This week in the training view: easy 11 km, tempo 9 km, long run 16 km, and a Log this week button.
  3. Step 3 of 3

    Sync your runs, watch the number move

    The prediction comes from what you actually run, never from the paces written in your plan. Sync your runs, log the week, and it updates. Compatible with Strava.

    The race prediction: goal 3:45:00, predicted 3:38:06 with a range of 3:20 to 4:09, 6 minutes 54 seconds ahead of goal.
Join the waitlist to bring yours

I have a coach.

Your coach writes the plan. You run it, log it and see where you stand, and so do they.

  1. Step 1 of 3

    Your coach's plan, on your phone

    Your coach sets the plan and its paces. You see each week with the reasons behind it, mark sessions as you run them and log the week.

    This week in the training view: easy 11 km, tempo 9 km, long run 16 km, and a Log this week button.
  2. Step 2 of 3

    Sync your runs, watch the number move

    Sync your runs and RacePacer reads the distance, the pace and the fast reps inside your intervals. Log the week and your predicted finish updates from what you actually ran. Compatible with Strava.

    The race prediction: goal 3:45:00, predicted 3:38:06 with a range of 3:20 to 4:09, 6 minutes 54 seconds ahead of goal.
  3. Step 3 of 3

    Your coach sees how you are doing

    How much you have logged, how your logged weeks compare with the plan, and where your prediction sits against your goal. They change the plan when it needs changing, and you see it straight away.

    A coach's view of one runner: days to race, current week, adherence, total logged and the race prediction.
