Race Pace & Fuelling Assessment
Optimize Your Fueling for Peak Endurance Performance
Your fuelling strategy can make a major difference in endurance performance especially on race day. Slow energy decay, gut issues, or mismatched carbohydrate intake often limit performance more than lack of fitness alone.
ISHP’s Race Pace Fuelling Assessment scientifically evaluates how your current fuelling plan impacts performance and helps you dial in the right nutrition strategy so you perform at your best when it matters most.
What is the Race Pace & Fuelling Assessment?
The Race Pace & Fuelling Assessment is a performance evaluation designed to measure how your pre-planned nutrition (gels, drinks, carbs, electrolytes, etc.) affects your pacing, energy, and endurance at and around your target race intensity.
Rather than guessing what to eat or when to eat it, this test provides objective data on how your fuelling strategy actually impacts your performance.
Who Can Benefit From the Race Pace & Fuelling Assessment?
The Race Pace & Fuelling Assessment is especially valuable for:
-
Endurance athletes preparing for events like marathons, half-marathons, cycling races, and triathlons
-
Runners and cyclists who struggle with energy dips or gut issues during long efforts
-
Athletes with a fueling strategy that isn’t delivering expected results
-
People who want to test and tune their nutrition plan in a controlled setting
-
Coaches and training partners who need precise, individualized data to guide nutrition plans
This test helps replace guesswork with measurable insight so your fuelling matches your effort and energy demands
Why You Should Book a Race Pace & Fuelling Assessment
The right fuelling strategy can be the difference between fatigue or finishing strong. Generic fuelling guidelines online may not work for every athlete: your body, metabolism, sport, intensity, and pace all influence your energy needs.
Booking this assessment gives you:
-
Objective insight into how fuel affects your performance
-
Evidence-based recommendations tailored to your physiology
-
Data to refine race-day nutrition plans and pacing strategy
-
A personalized approach instead of guesswork or generic advice
Whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply want to feel more confident during long training sessions and races, this assessment helps you fuel smart, not just hard.
