What Sub24 is for

Ultra runners of every level, from a first 50k to a multi-day mountain race, and the crew and pacers who get them to the finish. Whether you’re chasing a podium, a sub-24, or simply beating the cutoff, the planning problem is the same: how do you fuel, drink and pace a long day over real terrain without guessing?

It’s as useful to a beginner who’s never thought about sodium as it is to a veteran who wants their crew sheet to update itself on the day. Coaches get a view of their own: every athlete’s season, races and plans on one calendar, with a coach view into each runner’s plan. And crew join from a share link, no account needed.

• Fuelling & hydration. Carbs, fluid, sodium and caffeine per hour, turned into exactly what to eat and drink at each aid station and on the legs between. Tuned by your sweat test, the heat, and altitude, with a pre-race plan for the final days before the gun.
• Pacing over real terrain. A pace for every climb and descent from your route’s GPX, not just a flat-ground average, adjusted for fade, with sunset-aware ETAs so the dark hours don’t wreck the forecast.
• Any race format. Point-to-point, loops, backyards and multi-day epics: lap projections, last-one-standing rules, and Spine-length events that span their real days on the calendar. Flat road or track ultra? A simple per-hour builder skips the GPX entirely.
• Real courses, ready to go. Clone big-name races from the race bank, checkpoints and cutoffs included, or drop in your own GPX and let Sub24 correct it to true course distance.
• Aid, drop bags & crew. What’s at each aid station, where your drop bags go, the cutoffs, and when your crew need to be where.
• Race day, live. Tick off checkpoints and share a live sheet so your crew and pacers always know your ETA and buffer. Lock the plan of record for race week so the sheet stops shifting under you.
• A season, not just a race. Plan the year on a season calendar with A, B and C priorities, check an honest readiness number as the big day approaches, and log a recap afterwards so your next plan starts from what actually worked.
• Coaching. Coaches link to their runners with a code and run the whole roster: one calendar across every athlete’s season, and a coach’s view of each runner’s races, plan and pantry.

None of this is novel research. It’s the bookkeeping ultra runners already do in their heads and spreadsheets, terrain affects pace, fatigue compounds with distance, night is slower, sweat drives how much sodium you need, done consistently and allocated across the whole race in a way that survives contact with reality.

The numbers in any sports-nutrition or pacing textbook are fine. The hard part is turning them into “what do I carry out of checkpoint 4, and how fast do I climb to 5?” That’s the gap Sub24 fills.
