Why I built RaceIQGet Back To You
A future 12-week program for women who want to rebuild self-trust, movement, strength, running or walking, realistic nutrition, and confidence.
Not a crash diet. Not punishment. A way back to the woman you miss being.
Movement, strength, walking/running, food habits, confidence, and self-trust.
Most plans assume you're a robot.
RaceIQ was built for runners with jobs, stress, missed workouts, bad sleep, Peloton rides, and big goals.
A real plan should know when to push, when to bend, and when the smartest training choice is protecting tomorrow.
It helps you decide what to do next.
Tell RaceIQ what happened.
Worked late, rode hard, slept badly, missed the workout, or ran in heat.
It reads the whole week.
Runs, cross-training, fatigue, strength, recovery, and what still needs to happen.
You get the next right move.
Move it, shorten it, go easy, protect the long run, or take the recovery win.
The week bends without losing the thread.
RaceIQ keeps the race goal in view while adjusting the next few days around fatigue, missed sessions, cross-training, heat, and the work your body already absorbed.
Read the adaptive plan guideMove the hard workout, keep an easy run, and protect the long run.
Count the aerobic work and leg fatigue instead of pretending it did not happen.
Lower the ask for today so consistency survives the week.
Shift the anchor workout instead of cramming tired miles into a busy day.
RaceIQ is built around the decisions runners actually face.
These placeholder screens show the core product promise: chat with the coach, adjust the plan, understand the week, and keep the race goal visible.

Dashboard and RaceIQ Score
Built by a runner who started at 210 lbs and still trains around real life.
RaceIQ came from the gap between the plan on paper and the runner living the week: full-time work, marathon blocks, trail goals, ultra curiosity, bad sleep, travel, and the stubborn desire to keep showing up.
Rigid plans break the moment life stops being clean. RaceIQ exists because serious runners need structure that can bend without making every adjustment feel like failure.
Runs are not the only signal.
Peloton, cycling, strength, walking, sleep, and training context can all change what the next best run should be.
