How it works

Three steps, about five minutes of your time.

1Upload your rides

Your Strava or Garmin export, or any .fit files. Ideally 12 months with a power meter.

2Every ride gets analysed

Second by second: your intervals, your power curve, how you hold up late in long rides.

3Get your report

Usually ready in a few minutes. We email you the link too.

What's in your report

Built from what you actually rode, not a formula.

How you're built

Sprinter, all-rounder or diesel? Your threshold, anaerobic engine and aerobic ceiling, in plain English.

What's holding you back

The one or two things limiting you right now, like fading late in long rides or a threshold that lags your punch.

Your next three steps

The changes that will make the biggest difference to your training.

Interval pacing menu

Watts for 1, 2, 4 and 10-minute reps, from what you've held before plus a model of your power curve. No more guessing from % of FTP.

Durability and repeatability

Can you hold power deep into a ride? Do your reps fade? We measure it from your files.

Your full training history

Every interval session found and grouped, weekly patterns, endurance-ride quality and fitness trends.

"Most riders set intervals from a percentage of FTP. But two riders with the same FTP can be built completely differently. This report paces you from your own rides."

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Upload your files and you get the full report. No card, no subscription.

What files do I need?

The easiest is your full Strava export (request it in Strava's settings, in your phone's browser) or your Garmin Connect export. Any .fit files from Wahoo, Zwift, TrainingPeaks and others also work. You need a power meter or smart trainer for the power analysis.

How long does it take?

Usually a few minutes after your upload finishes. You get a private link straight away that turns into your report, and we email it too.

What happens to my data?

Your files are only used to make your report, never shared or sold, and deleted within 30 days. Your report stays at a private link. Privacy details.

Who's behind this?

Joe Howe, a cyclist and engineer who coaches riders using their own data.
