Get access: free trial or subscription

When you first log in, the start page shows a Get ready checklist with three steps: Access, Name and rider profile and Rider setup.

If you don’t subscribe by the end of the trial

No minimum commitment. You can cancel at any time; access continues until the end of your billing cycle. More details: Plans, trial & credits đź’ł.

Only need a pacing strategy for one race? You can also purchase a single event without a subscription. See Plans, trial & credits đź’ł.

Prepare your rider profile & setup(s)

A) Define your Rider Profile

  1. In the Get ready checklist, click Update next to your name and then Rider profile.

  2. Enter your rider details. Weight and Height are required. Optionally add Sex, Age, FTP [W] and Max. HR [bpm]. Your Training zones are calculated from FTP and max. HR (or can be adjusted manually) and are used for the training-zone view in the pacing results.

  3. Use the toggle for metric or imperial units.

You can change your rider profile any time under Your account → Rider profile → Update profile.

For a basic, non-coach or team subscription, the name of the rider profile is linked to the user name. Therefore, you have to change the user name (Your account → Personal information) to change the name of the rider profile.

B) Create a Rider Setup

  1. In the Get ready checklist, click Create rider setup.

  2. Create at least one setup you’ll use for analysis. We recommend creating one for each of your bikes (e.g. TT, road).

  3. Save it with a clear name (e.g., “TT race setup”).

More details: New Rider Setup.

Create a custom course (Optional)

More details: New Custom Course.

Tip: Keep course names consistent with your events (e.g., “IM 70.3 [City] – 2026”).

Plan your race as an Event (Optional, recommended)

Go to Events → Create new event, enter the event name and date, and select the course. All optimizations you create from the event use its course and date. See Events 📆.

Run your first optimization

On the start page, click Create first optimization and choose Pacing or Equipment (later you'll find Create pacing optimization / Create equipment optimization under Quick access). The platform guides you through each required step, and your inputs are saved automatically.

Option A: Pacing Strategy (using a single setup)

  1. Event & course: load an event or a course (built-in or your custom one).

  2. Wind: Get forecast or Edit wind manually.

  3. Groups & power: segments are grouped automatically into a few power targets per terrain type (e.g., steep climbs, flats with headwind, descents). Review the groups or fix the power for some segments.

  4. Rider setup: select exactly one rider setup.

  5. Parameters: enter your Normalized Power™ target.

  6. Click Run optimization and review the pacing plan.

  7. The result is automatically saved so you can revisit it later.

More details: Pacing Optimization — Setup Guide.

About segment grouping

Option B: Equipment Comparison (using multiple rider setups or one rider setup with different wheel options)

  1. Event & course: load an event or a course.

  2. Wind: automatic forecast or manual entry.

  3. Groups & power: define the power you'll ride (e.g. with Apply constant power).

  4. Setups & equipment: select multiple rider setups, or one rider setup with multiple wheel/tyre options.

  5. Click Run optimization and review time differences and segment impacts.

  6. The result is automatically saved for later reference.

More details: Equipment Optimization — Setup Guide.

Each run uses one optimization credit. You can see your remaining credits on the start page under Quotas & limits.

Tip: If your plan includes the official courses, start with one of them to learn the flow. Once comfortable, upload your race course.
