Feature: race plans and cardio goals

A plan for the race. Or a date for the target.

Pick a distance and a date and TandemFit works backwards to build the plan, or give it a target time and it tells you when you'd realistically be ready. Recording the runs and rides themselves is covered on the running and cycling pages.

iPhone and Apple Watch · Android and Wear OS in beta

  • Plans for 5K, 10K, half, marathon or a distance you set yourself.
  • Warm-up, interval and cool-down segments coloured through the route and the lap list.
  • Projected 5K, 10K, half and marathon times, each with a confidence rating.
  • Plan to a race date, or give a target time and get the date you'd be ready.
  • Apple Watch and Wear OS apps that run the session from your wrist.

How it fits together

Two ways to set the goal

Two ways to set the goal

Give it a race date and it works backwards to build the plan. Or give it a target time and it tells you the date you'd realistically be ready, based on what you're running now. If the target isn't reachable in the time you've got, it says so instead of selling you a plan that was never going to work.

Race times you can weigh up

Your projected times update as you run, and each one carries a confidence, because a marathon estimate off three easy runs isn't the same as one off three months of training.

Coached out loud

Hear your next interval, pace cue, or rest period without checking your phone.

Indoors counts

Treadmill and machine sessions log with the same lap structure, so a winter of indoor miles doesn't leave a hole in your history.

Questions

Before you switch.

Can TandemFit build me a race plan?

Yes. Pick 5K, 10K, half, marathon or your own distance, then either give it your race date or give it a target time and let it work out when you'd be ready.

How does it predict my race time?

From the runs you've logged, updated as you train, with a confidence rating attached so you know how much weight to put on it.

Does it work with my watch?

Apple Watch and Wear OS both have a real app: start, lap, pause and finish from the wrist, with the phone catching up afterwards.

Can I still lift while training for a race?

That's the point. The strength work and the running are in one history and one week, and difficulty is tracked separately per discipline so neither one distorts the other.
