Pace Assistant

Overview

Pace Assistant is a GPT designed to assist runners in planning their runs with granulated details. Specifically, it provides running splits for Strava Routes considering both distance and elevation changes.

The goal is to offer more insightful and realistic run planning by not simply splitting the route into equal segments, but instead, adjusting those splits based on variations in elevation.

This implies a more nuanced approach that recognizes the impact of uphills and downhills on a runner's performance. Its main usage revolves around queries on mile splits for different routes, pacing strategies for hilly terrains, or running splits for various types of races from 10Ks to marathons.

It is important to note that to use Pace Assistant, the runner needs to have access to ChatGPT Plus. Through this tool, users are expected to achieve a more effective and personalized running strategy by leveraging AI technology.

The tool results from the work of Aaroh Mankad, who intended to bring a more scientific and data-driven perspective to the popular fitness activity.
