Nutrition Planning

Race-day fueling worked out in advance, then practiced in training.

Pro feature - included in the 7-day free trial.

A fueling plan for your specific race

Race nutrition isn't one-size-fits-all. Trailia generates a race-day fueling plan based on your goal race distance, elevation profile, estimated finish time, and personal preferences. Calorie and carbohydrate targets are calculated per hour, with timing mapped to the course so you know when to take in fuel relative to the terrain, not just the clock.

Product suggestions that match your needs

The fueling plan includes brand-specific product suggestions across gels, chews, real food, and drinks calibrated to your calorie and carbohydrate targets. These are starting points, not prescriptions. The goal is to give you something concrete to test rather than a list of macros to figure out yourself.

Nutrition practice built into your long runs

The biggest fueling mistake in trail racing is arriving at the start line having never practiced your nutrition strategy. Trailia integrates a nutrition practice schedule into your long training runs so you rehearse your race-day plan in conditions that approximate the real thing: effort level, duration, and terrain.

Track what you actually practiced

After each long run with a planned nutrition rehearsal, you can log what you used and how it felt. Trailia tracks this so your race-day plan can be refined based on what your gut actually tolerated during training, not just what looked good on paper.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nutrition Planning a Pro feature?

Yes. Personalised fueling plans and nutrition practice scheduling are available on Trailia Pro, including the 7-day free trial.

How does Trailia calculate my calorie and carbohydrate needs?

The calculation factors in your estimated race duration, pace, and body weight where available. Carbohydrate targets follow current sports nutrition guidelines for endurance events, adjusted for the intensity and duration of your specific race.

Do I need a GPX file for the fueling plan?

Not required, but it helps. With a course GPX file, Trailia can map fueling timing to specific sections of the race rather than just elapsed time.

Can I customize the product suggestions?

The suggestions are generated based on your targets and preferences. You can use them as a starting point and adjust based on what you have access to or have already tested in training.

What if I have dietary restrictions?

Dietary preferences and restrictions are factored into the fueling plan generation. Make sure your preferences are set in your profile before generating a plan.
