Most pace calculators assume the world is flat. WikiRace knows better. Whether you are targeting a BQ (Boston Qualifier), tackling a hilly trail ultra, or optimizing your triathlon run leg, WikiRace combines a beautiful interface with rigorous physics to predict your real performance. WHY WIKIRACE IS DIFFERENT Standard calculators just divide distance by time. We use the Minetti Energy Cost Model (2002) to calculate your Grade Adjusted Pace (GAP). - 100m Precision: We analyze the course in 100-meter segments to detect "hidden hills" that average out in standard splits. - Real Physics: The engine understands that running 10% uphill costs far more energy than running 10% downhill saves. Gravity always winsβ€”unless you plan for it. KEY FEATURES: My Races Dashboard Visualizing your season has never looked this good. Your next big race is highlighted with dynamic countdowns and immersive visuals. Advanced Strategy Engine Ditch the linear math. Get a realistic prediction based on the exact topography of your course. See where the hills will hurt and plan your effort accordingly. Interactive Strategy Planner It’s your race, run it your way. Use intuitive sliders to customize your attack: - Pacing Style: Choose Negative Split, Bank Time (Fast Start), or Even Effort. - Hill Tactics: Decide to "Attack" the climbs or "Hike/Conserve" to save matches for the end. Live Visualization - Detailed elevation charts with gradient shading. - Pace Strategy Bars: Color-coded (Green=Push, Red=Recover) guidance so you know exactly what to do at every kilometer. Smart Nutrition Planning Don't hit the wall. The app automatically generates a fueling plan based on your estimated duration and intensity, complete with an interactive checklist. BUILT FOR: - Marathoners chasing a PR. - Trail Runners managing vertical gain. - Triathletes optimizing energy output. Download WikiRace today. Plan smarter, run faster.
