TrailGoat ships
nearly every day
The running log — newest first, real dates, no vaporware. Everything here is live on the site right now. Want the how-to for any of it? The docs page covers every feature; ideas and bug reports go to kris@trailgoat.run.
August 2026
- Aug 20Pricing, drawn honestly. The paid boundary: planning stays free; the live race-day layer (live crew sheets, check-ins, re-forecast) becomes a one-off Race Pass or yearly Pro at launch. Crew always views free; existing links keep working. Training moves to a closed beta — feedback for a comped Race Pass — until watch sync makes it worth charging for.
- Aug 20The docs page. Every feature, explained — 14 cards covering the whole product, each linking into the methodology for the math.
- Aug 20Send the plan to your watch. One button exports a Garmin/Coros course file (.fit) with your paced splits baked in — ahead/behind on the wrist runs against your plan — and aid stations as course points.
- Aug 20Finish-line cutoff. Set the overall race cutoff on the Finish row and get a live buffer, in the planner and on the crew sheet.
- Aug 20"Send this to your race director." Every course page carries a prefilled note a runner can forward — the free embed plus verification, pitched in one tap. Crew-sheet links also unfurl with the course's own elevation card now.
- Aug 19Night, on the map. The stretches you'll run in darkness render as a dark casing on the route and violet bands on the profile — computed from your start time and real sunrise/sunset.
- Aug 19Altitude, shown honestly. Elevation zones on the profile with effective-oxygen figures, an effective-oxygen stat on course pages, and Capra briefed on thin air — the air's numbers, not a prediction about you.
- Aug 17First-visit tours. Every tool now walks a first-timer through its three best tricks, then gets out of the way.
- Aug 16A proper front door for race directors. The RD page: a live embed demo, what verification means, and why the map that costs $599/yr elsewhere is free here.
- Aug 14Cutoffs with live buffers. Enter any aid station's official cutoff as a clock time and every stop shows your margin — recomputed live on the crew sheet as check-ins come in.
- Aug 11The Live Crew Sheet got its polish pass. Real course card running the actual map engine, planner-grade stat tiles, live weather, and stable links — update the plan and every phone has the new version.
- Aug 10Crew & pacers, end to end. People with roles and phone numbers, per-stop marks in the plan table, a send-to-crew flow, and a print wizard with a tile map for the paper backup.
- Aug 6Every course got a public page. 220+ races at /courses — map, profile, aid stations, share cards, and a dynamic sitemap behind them.
- Aug 4Start training from your watch. Drop a Garmin/Coros/Strava export and the fitness analyzer reads your real history into the training wizard.
July 2026
- Jul 29The race catalog grew up. Every edition is tracked per distance (4,700+ editions), zip'd GPX bundles import cleanly, and a weekly sweep keeps upcoming races current.
- Jul 22Training plans. A wizard that asks what matters, a deterministic plan shape you approve first, and Capra writing the week-by-week — free account, one plan at a time, on purpose.
- Jul 12Run Planner, one screen. The course, fuel, gear and pacing tools merged into a single planner at /raceday, with the dashboard splitting run plans from training plans.
June 2026
- Jun 28Surface on the route. Trail/gravel/paved coloured onto the map and ribboned under the profile, with a surface-mix stat per course.
- Jun 20One map engine. Every page — planner, library, course pages, embeds, crew sheets — renders through the same map + elevation engine, so a fix anywhere lands everywhere.
- Jun 14The fade, validated. The pacing model's late-race slowdown was fitted on real 100-mile checkpoint splits and published on the methodology page — the start of "show your math" as a product rule.
Older work (the first course pages, the fueling calculator, the original dashboard) predates this log. Forward from here, it stays current. Go plan something →
