The clear overall result against a matching earlier run.
Same-route comparison
Compare runs on the same route
Trail IQ learns how you perform on routes you repeat, then uses that history before, during and after your next workout.
The useful difference
A faster time is only part of the story.
A basic comparison can tell you that a run was 18 seconds faster. Trail IQ is built to show where that time changed, how the effort compared and whether you handled a familiar section differently.
A same-route example
Turn one finishing time into a useful route story.
The details depend on the workouts and data available, but a reliable comparison can connect the overall result with the section that changed it.
Most of the improvement came through a section where pace often drops.
When both runs contain suitable heart-rate data, effort can help explain the change.
Carry the useful execution pattern into the next attempt.
Before the workout
Know what your own history says about the route.
Choose a saved or familiar route and Trail IQ prepares the context that matters before you begin. The comparison stays within the same workout type, so running history is not mixed with walking or cycling.
- Review the latest, quickest and typical matching efforts
- See recurring strong and difficult route sections when enough history exists
- Preview upcoming climbs and other meaningful route features
- Choose a previous workout as an optional live Ghost
During the workout
See what is coming while the route is still unfolding.
Follow the assigned route, remaining distance and live metrics from the map-first workout screen. When you choose a Ghost, its marker shows where the earlier effort was at the same elapsed time.
- Track your progress along the assigned route
- Compare against a selected earlier effort with live Ghost
- Receive optional route, segment and heart-rate coaching cues
- Keep spoken cues, tones and haptics under your control
After the workout
Understand where the result was made.
The Workout Result brings the same-route story forward. See whether you finished ahead or behind, inspect where time changed and decide what is worth carrying into the next effort.
- Compare against the previous matching workout
- Review pace or speed changes by route section
- Add heart-rate context when compatible data was recorded
- Update Route Memory as reliable repeated efforts accumulate
Bring your route history
You do not always have to start from zero.
Supported GPX, TCX and FIT workout files can seed familiar-route history. Trail IQ checks for duplicates, keeps richer existing records and compares workouts only when the activity type and route evidence are suitable.
Bring supported historical workout files into your local Trail IQ library.
Trail IQ looks for trustworthy route matches without treating every nearby path as the same route.
Repeated matching efforts reveal useful patterns as the route history grows.
Local-first by design
Your personal route history stays personal.
Trail IQ does not require an account or upload your workout and health data to Trail IQ servers. Apple Health integration is optional, and Full Access is a one-time purchase rather than a recurring subscription.
Record. Understand. Return.
Make the routes you repeat more useful.
Trail IQ is available for iPhone with five completed workouts included. Full Access unlocks unlimited workout recording and route comparison with one purchase.
