Pre-Race
RACE PLAN
Spectro.Life calculates your race potential and helps you create a mathematically optimised race plan for pacing, nutrition and hydration based on your athlete profile and other personal preferences.
During onboarding, you have the option to manually create your athlete profile or connect your Garmin or Coros accounts. If you choose to connect your accounts, Spectro.Life downloads your activities from the past 90 days and uses this data to calculate your current fitness, fatigue, form, maximum tolerable fatigue, endurance, ascent and descent capabilities, and more. This profile is continuously updated with each new activity downloaded, ensuring that your plan remains personalised and up-to-date.

HRSS & TRIMP
Manual or Assisted plan
We calculate Training Impulse based on Edwards algorithm and normalise it with and effort of 60 minutes at Lactate Threshold to receive Heart Rate Stress Score
Fully manual plan only takes into consideration the runner's objectives. Plan A is an aspirational plan. Spectro.Life creates a timetable to reach those objectives. The Assisted optimal plan also takes into consideration the runner's abilities, Plan B is a more realistic plan.
Fitness, Fatigue, Form
Live plan updates
Metabolic fitness and temporary fatigue represent chronic and acute training load. The maximum fatigue during recent training is used for Body battery calculations.
During the race Spectro.Life monitors deviation to the plan and suggest moving to a backup plan when it is unlikely that Plan A can be fulfilled. Plan C comes with exit criteria like dropping below a certain result or having a severe health symptom
