Race Analysis

Race Analysis answers the question every runner asks: am I getting faster? It provides performance-over-time charts broken down by distance, tracks your personal bests, and links each race to the training block that preceded it. Navigate to Analysis to see your data.

Race Analysis requires race results.

If this page is empty, go to Race Results to learn how to add your results first.

Performance Charts

The Analysis page shows a performance trend chart for each race distance you have recorded. Charts display finish time on the vertical axis and race date on the horizontal axis, so a downward trend means you are improving.

Switching between distances

Distance tabs appear at the top of the page, one for each distance you have recorded results at. Click a tab to view the chart and stats for that distance. Only distances with at least two results generate a trend chart.

Chart data points

Each point on the chart represents one race. Hover over a point to see the race name, date, finish time, and pace. Click a point to open the race detail page for that result.

Training volume correlation.

Below the performance chart you will find a secondary chart showing your weekly training volume in the weeks leading up to each race. This helps you identify what training load correlates with your best performances.

Personal Bests

For each distance you have raced, GoAnd.Run tracks your personal best automatically. The PB summary card at the top of each distance tab shows your fastest time, the race it came from, and a comparison with your recent results.

Best time

Your fastest finish time for the distance, displayed prominently in the PB card.

Delta to recent races

Each recent result shows how far above or below your PB it was (green for a new PB, red for slower), displayed as a time difference.

Total race count

The total number of results you have recorded at this distance, shown in the PB card header.

Average pace

The pace in min/km that corresponds to your personal best time for that distance.

Race Detail Page

Click any race result to open its detail page. This is the deepest view into a single race, combining the activity data with context about the training block leading up to it.

Race summary

Finish time, pace, distance, and how it compares to your PB for this distance.

Training block

A summary of the training volume, quality, and zone distribution in the 8–12 weeks before the race. This shows the training that built the fitness for this result.

Effort analysis

Zone distribution for the race itself: how hard did you push, and was your effort distributed evenly throughout?

AI coaching insights

AI-generated analysis connecting the race result to the training block, identifying strengths and areas to address for the next race of this distance.

Coaching Insights

Coaching insights on the race detail page are where the analysis becomes actionable. The AI considers the race result alongside the training block that preceded it and identifies patterns that help explain the performance.

What the AI looks at

Training volume adequacy

Was the weekly mileage in the build-up appropriate for the race distance? Too little training volume relative to the distance is a common cause of late-race fade.

Zone balance in training

Was the training block predominantly easy, or were there quality sessions mixed in? The 80/20 principle (80% easy, 20% hard) is a common benchmark the AI references.

Taper period

Did training volume reduce appropriately in the final 1–2 weeks before the race? A good taper allows accumulated fatigue to clear while retaining fitness.

Race execution

Based on the splits and zone data, did you go out too fast, too conservative, or well-paced? Even splits with consistent heart rate usually indicates good pacing.
