Does TrainAsONE provide race time predictions?

Yes. TrainAsONE provides an advanced, AI-powered race time prediction to help you set a realistic target for your race.

**How Our Predictions Work**

For comparison, and where appropriate, we also provide predictions from a small selection of standard race prediction models (e.g., Riegel). These traditional predictors typically work by using a single data point, such as a recent race result, to estimate a finish time.

However, our primary and most accurate prediction comes from the TrainAsONE AI. Unlike the standard models, our AI analyses your entire running history, combined with your demographic data, to generate a more holistic prediction. Our internal research has shown this method to be more accurate, especially for longer distances. And it has the distinct advantage of not requiring any previous (recent) races in order to be applied.

**Where to Find Your Prediction**

You can find your predicted race time displayed against each race in your Goals and Races section of the TrainAsONE web and mobile applications.

**Important: Prediction vs. Your Race Day Workout**

It's crucial to understand the difference between our prediction and the workout scheduled for your race day:

  • The Prediction is what our AI calculates you are capable of achieving based on your training. It is a guide to help you understand your current fitness level.

  • The Race Day Workout is built to pace you towards your target time. While you can set this to your TrainAsONE prediction, it does not have to be. For example, if you set manually set 50-minute 10k goal, your race workout will be structured to help you achieve that 50-minute finish.
