Your race. Your fitness. Your training plan. Training for Leadville, Unbound, or your first gravel or mountain bike race? Dirt Factor analyzes the demands of your goal race, compares them with your current fitness, and builds a personalized training plan to help you get ready. Stop guessing. Start training with a purpose. NEEDED VS. CURRENT Pick a race and a goal: a finish time, or a place in your age group from past results. Dirt Factor models every climb, descent and surface on the course and gives you one honest answer: the power your goal takes against the power you have now. WHERE IS THE GAP? See the watts each climb and section takes, compared with your own race file. Know whether it's the climbs, the descents or the last three hours.
