Race fuelling, worked out for you. Tell Upcentrale which race you are running and get a gel-by-gel schedule you can actually follow on the day. Most runners guess. They carry what fits in a pocket, take a gel when they remember, and find out at 32 km that it was not enough. Upcentrale turns that into a plan with times on it. A PLAN, NOT A GUESS Answer a few questions about your race and your pace. Upcentrale builds a fuelling schedule spaced across the whole distance — what to take, and when. FUEL LOCKER Track the gels, chews, sachets and drink mix you already own. Your plan draws from what is actually in your locker, so you find out now if you are short, not the night before. LOW-STOCK WARNINGS Upcentrale flags what is running out while there is still time to restock. WEEK VIEW Your training sessions and your fuelling windows in one place, so the long run on Sunday is not a surprise on Saturday night. RACE MODE On race day, reminders arrive timed to your plan. Mark each one done or skip it. No maths at kilometre 30. GUIDANCE ACROSS RACE PREP Fuelling, hydration and gear, organised by category so you can act on one thing at a time. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED TO START Guest mode covers a single race. Create an account to save multiple plans, use Fuel Locker, and keep everything synced across your devices. Built for road and trail, 10K through marathon and beyond. Early version. We are building this with real athletes and shipping changes fast — if something is missing, tell us.

Paceboard reads your runs and tells you what they mean — then builds the training that comes next, at your paces, and puts it on your watch. Connect Garmin, COROS or Apple Watch and Paceboard reads your recent running: how much, how often, how fast. A few quick questions later, your first two weeks are built around your goal, whether that's a race day or staying fit. YOUR RUNS, UNDERSTOOD Ask how a run went and see it, not a wall of text: every rep against its target, every kilometre against your easy range, heart rate across the run. Then what went well, what drifted, and what to change next time. ASK ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR RUNS Why did your 10K fade? Are your easy days too fast? Is your long run building too quickly? Paceboard answers from your actual splits, paces and weeks — not guesses. A PLAN BUILT AROUND YOU Your training paces come from your own running, from easy through threshold to reps. Every week is laid out on your calendar with a countdown to race day, and each week builds on the last. WORKOUTS THAT ADAPT Slept badly, legs heavy? Paceboard reads your Apple Health recovery data, turns today into an easy run, moves the hard session, and keeps your week on track. One tap puts it back. BUILD IT THE WAY IT WAS WRITTEN Type the session the way your coach said it. "6×800m at 5K effort with 400m jogs" comes back as a real structured workout, every rep and recovery in place, at your paces. RACE DAY, PLANNED Tell Paceboard your goal time and get a race plan you can run: how to pace each section, when to fuel, and what to do if it's hot. ON YOUR WATCH Workouts sync to your Garmin, COROS or Apple Watch with every rep, recovery and target pace on your wrist. Completed runs sync back automatically. SEE YOUR TRAINING ADD UP Weekly mileage, active time, consistency and race forecasts for 5K to the marathon, all from the runs you've logged. SHARE WITH YOUR CLUB Send any workout by link or QR code. Everyone runs the same session at their own paces. BUILT FOR Runners training for anything from 5K to the marathon on Garmin, COROS or Apple Watch — with a coach, a club, or on their own.
