POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The study you needed was never done...

937 studies on fuelling during exercise. Most of them ran on a narrow slice of athletes, and the odds are you weren't in it.

Nobody has properly studied runners over the age of 40. Or back-of-the-pack finishers. Or people whose gut has its own opinions. Or more shockingly female athletes. The research was done on somebody. It probably wasn't you.

So stop waiting for it.

Write down what you actually want to know. Not a hypothesis, just the thing that keeps happening. Set the conditions it applies to, or leave them open and let it watch everything. Pick what to look out for, or don't, and let it tell you.

Then run. Every matching run tags itself. The evidence builds while you get on with training.

Your coach reckons you go out too hard on climbs? Test it. Convinced you're fine on gels until hour four? Test that too. Nobody has to approve the question.

One person's data isn't a study. But it's the only one that was ever about you.

You've already run the experiment. Nobody wrote down the result.

Every gel that sat wrong. Every morning run that fell apart at mile eight. Every time you swore you'd remember what you did differently.

You didn't. Nobody does.

Absorb is the fuelling memory you've never had. It reads the runs you've already logged, finds the patterns hiding in them, and gives you tests to try. Each one is built from real research, with the study shown so you know what you're trying.

Then it watches. Every run you log builds the evidence. Nothing to remember on race day.

And if the research was never done on people like you? Watch this space.

Hey 👋 Let's see if this little journey works out.

Absorb is a fuelling memory and race planner for ultra runners. Every long run you've ever done was already a test of what your gut can take. Nobody ever wrote down the result.

So Absorb does. Log how a run went in a couple of taps, see the patterns you'd never spot yourself, and when you change something it tells you honestly whether it held. By race day the variables are settled, instead of being a mid-race thought at hour eleven.

Built by ultra runners, for you.

Waitlist is open, link in bio 🤝
