Race weight — your sustainable competition weight

Race weight isn't lowest weight — it's the weight that keeps your power-to-weight ratio high without hurting muscle, recovery, hormones or sleep. We compute a conservative range by event distance.

Calculate

Never drop more than 0.5 kg/week. Hit race weight at least 4-6 weeks before your A-race, not the week before. Losing weight close to a race kills your taper.
