TRIATHLON TRAINING, BUILT TO ADAPT AND TELL YOU WHY
Your nextfinish linestarts here.
MetrIQ is a triathlon training app. Your plan is built around your race,
the fitness you have today, and the week you can actually train, and it
keeps up as life gets in the way.
Your plan should adapt to you, not the other way around.
Every session explained
Why it's there, how to do it, what to watch for.
Built to adapt to your life
Bad sleep, travel, illness, a sore knee. Every change comes with its reason.
Fueling, hydration and race day
How to fuel and hydrate on the long sessions, and a race rehearsed before you get there.
A bad night's sleep, a week of travel, a cold, a brutal month at work, a knee
that starts complaining. No two athletes absorb the same week the same way,
and no template knows which one you are.
So MetrIQ asks YOU, not your watch.
How did you sleep? How did that session feel? What hurts?
Any level
First triathlon or fifteenth.
Any week
Five hours or fifteen, on the days you choose.
Racing or building
A race booked, or base work with none yet.
Any starting point
The plan starts from what you've done, not what you should have.
One thing it needs from you: honesty in the daily check-in. Two taps, and it's
what the plan is built to respond to.
NOT A TEMPLATE
Two athletes. Same race. Never the same start.
It starts where you are, not where a template assumes you are. Seven
questions when you sign up: the longest ride you've done recently, the days
you can actually train, the distance you're training for.

WHY THIS WORKS
Same race. Same training period. Both arrive ready for the distance, because
the finish line decides the destination and your fitness today decides the
starting point.
WHY, NOT JUST WHAT
It tells you what the session is for. In words, not a chart.
Every workout carries a note: why it exists, how to execute it, what good looks
like, and the mistake people make. Written in advance, not produced
on demand.
KEYANCHOR 20'sLONG RIDE · 145 MIN
Ride easy, then hold race pace for 20 minutes, then easy again, and repeat.
Race pace for you is Z3.
This is the closest thing in the plan to your actual race. You are practicing
holding race effort while already tired, and finding out what that feels like
from the inside, which is worth more than any number you'll see on the day.
WHAT GOOD LOOKS LIKE
The last race-pace block is as steady as the first. If it fell apart,
either you started the ride too hard or the target is optimistic. Both are
useful to know now.
WATCH OUT
Race pace feels easy at first. That is the point. It should not feel easy
at the end, and if it does you are probably riding it too conservatively.
Every session has one. The numbers are based on your tests; the advice is the
same for everyone doing that session.
A LOOK INSIDE
What the beta looks like.
TodayOpen it in the morning and know exactly what today asks of you, and why.
The whole planSee every week between now and race day, and where you are in it.
When it changesA suggested change, the reason behind it, and your call to take it or leave it.
What hurtsPoint to the pain once. Watch it settle day by day, and train around it.

Four of the screens you'll use. There are more on How it works. These are early
screens with sample data, and the beta is still being finished, so day one may look a
little different, and better.
