Before you start
Make sure you have at least one route in your library. If not, add one first — the planner needs a course to plan around.Open the planner
Pick how to start
On the empty Plans page, you’ll see three options: choose a saved route, upload a GPX file, or draw a new route. Pick Choose from Your Routes.
Select your route + name the plan
Pick the route you added earlier. Give the plan a name (something like “Race name — A goal” so you can tell sibling plans apart later).
The six steps
You don’t have to fill every step on the first pass. Skip what you don’t know yet and come back to it.1. Pacing
Target finish time + how effort is distributed across segments.
2. Checkpoints
Tune what’s on the route — cutoffs, aid-station details, drop bag flags.
3. Fueling
Calories, carbs, and hydration per hour, per segment, per checkpoint.
4. Gear
What you start in, what you swap, what’s in your drop bag.
5. Drop bags
Contents of each drop bag and which checkpoint it’s at.
6. Alerts
Per-checkpoint reminders the mobile app fires on race day.
