Trail IQ Guides
Learn from the routes you repeat
Practical ways to read pace, effort and route history without asking one finishing time to explain the whole workout.
Start with the route
Terrain and distance shape what a pace number means.
Add the effort
Heart rate and workout intent help explain the cost.
Look for patterns
Repeated evidence is more useful than one dramatic split.
Read first
Better questions make workout data more useful.
These guides separate outcome, execution and effort so a faster or slower time has enough context to become useful.
Route comparison
Why the same route tells you more than average pace
Average pace is an answer. A familiar route helps you understand the question: where did the workout change, what did the terrain ask, and what did the effort cost?
Pacing and intent
Your fastest run is not always your best-executed run
Learn to separate the quickest result from the workout that best matched its purpose.
