RacePilot - Race Pace Predictor

RacePilot is a race pacing data field designed to help runners make better pacing decisions throughout a race. Instead of displaying dozens of metrics, RacePilot focuses on the information that matters most when chasing a finish time. The interface is built around four essential questions: • How fast am I running? → Lap Pace • If I maintain this effort, when will I finish? → Projected Finish • Am I ahead or behind my goal? → Ahead / Behind • What pace do I need from here? → Need Pace RacePilot supports Outdoor Run, Track Run, and Treadmill Run with dedicated pacing engines optimized for each activity. Features include: • Real-time Lap Pace • Projected Finish prediction • Ahead / Behind target indicator • Dynamic Need Pace calculation • Automatic activity detection • Dedicated GPS, Track, and Treadmill pacing engines • 46 built-in race presets from beginner to elite performances • Custom race distance and target time • Advanced pace smoothing and spike rejection • Adaptive confidence scoring • GPS recovery and corner protection • Track mode with 400 m lap pacing and lap counter • Responsive layout optimized for round Garmin displays • Battery-conscious rendering and optimized performance RacePilot is designed as a decision-making tool—not a dashboard. Every metric shown is carefully selected to help runners maintain the right pace and achieve their target finish time with greater confidence. Compatible with Garmin Connect IQ supported devices.

Version 1.2 introduces the largest update since RacePilot was first released, bringing significant improvements to pacing accuracy, stability, and overall reliability. New • Completely redesigned pacing architecture with dedicated GPS, Track, and Treadmill engines • New activity state machine for more reliable race state handling • Adaptive pace filtering with EWMA, median filtering, and dynamic smoothing • Multi-source prediction engine combining instant pace, lap pace, filtered pace, and historical data • Confidence scoring system for more stable race predictions • Projection lock to reduce unnecessary finish time fluctuations • GPS recovery and improved corner handling • Grade compensation for more consistent pacing on varying terrain • Cadence spike detection and additional outlier rejection • Improved Track Run support with 400 m lap pacing, lap counter, and smoother lap transitions • Responsive typography and improved layout scaling across supported devices • Settings validation for improved reliability • Built-in telemetry framework and internal diagnostic tools • Synthetic algorithm test suite for regression testing Improved • More stable Projected Finish calculations • More accurate Need Pace recommendations • Faster treadmill startup pacing • Better GPS stability in difficult signal conditions • Smoother pace transitions during lap changes • Reduced display flickering • Improved battery efficiency • Optimized screen refresh performance • Improved overall rendering performance Fixed • Multiple calculation and parameter synchronization issues • State transition edge cases • Settings validation problems • Various layout and rendering inconsistencies • Numerous stability improvements throughout the pacing engine RacePilot is now more accurate, more stable, and better optimized across Outdoor Run, Track Run, and Treadmill Run activities.
