Service Description

Includes creating a race plan with Montis, tailoring this plan according to needs and runner’s capability as well as debriefing the plan, concepts, terminology and practical aspects of implementing the plan. Montis services worth of 10 tokens are factored into this consulting service you DON’T need to purchase them separately. Read more on www.spectro.life about Montis pricing and our unique algorithms that help you run an optimal race. For an individualized ultra-race optimization we will go through the following: - As an input from you we need your up-to-date best effort runs and some of your training runs (FIT files), your Lactate Threshold HR (LTHR) and flat pace at LTHR, your maximum carbohydrate (CHO) intake during 3-5 hour races, your checkpoint stops and some other tactical aspects. - From your best effort runs and other training runs we create you a Personal Running Model. Make sure these runs cover all the slopes that are expected during the race and are run in similar conditions like the race itself (eg. backpack, similar technicality and weather conditions). Don’t you have such runs? We can use benchmark Running Model and give up some specificity. - We use the created Running Model both for analyzing your activities and planning your upcoming race as well as understanding your strengths and weaknesses so you can focus your pre-race period on matching the race specific requirements. - Using our benchmarks from 30,000+ analyzed races and your best effort runs we create you an Endurance Model and find out the maximum average effort and heart rate intensity you can run the race with. - Where we have historical data we will look at different race strategies of runners with similar capabilities, sustainable effort levels effort distribution and speed indices to make your plan more realistic. - We listen to your intentions to race in a specific way and find the balance between running an optimal race and being in contact with the leading group. We generate then a pacing plan with race time, segment time, checkpoint time and time of day which you can share with your crew members. - We cross-check the pacing plan with vertical ascent (VAM) and descent (VDM) numbers, race cut-off times and adjust where needed. - We help you match this pacing plan with a nutrition and hydration plan. We can suggest you CHO intake as well as sodium benchmarks based on weather. - Finally we can offer practical advices on how to implement the plan.
