As an economist and programmer, my journey to creating Pace Science began with a personal challenge that many modern professionals face: the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle.
The Challenge
Like many in the tech industry, I spent countless hours in front of computers, leading to neck problems and declining physical fitness. While I had always been interested in rowing as a sport, I found myself struggling to maintain longer training sessions. This wasn't due to a lack of muscular strength - in fact, I could generate significant power for short bursts. The real issues lay deeper:
- My cardiovascular system would quickly become overwhelmed
- Heart rate would spike rapidly during exercise
- My body struggled with energy management, leading to hypoglycemic symptoms
- Sessions would end prematurely due to these limitations
The Missing Piece
What I needed wasn't just another fitness app - I needed an intelligent coach that could understand my physiological limits and help me pace properly. Someone (or something) that could prevent me from starting too aggressively and burning out mid-session.
The Solution: Pace Science
This realization led to the birth of Pace Science - an AI-powered pacing coach designed to:
- Monitor real-time physiological signals
- Provide intelligent pacing guidance
- Adapt to individual fitness levels and limitations
- Help users maintain sustainable exercise intensity
Beyond Personal Needs
While Pace Science started as a solution to my personal challenges, I quickly realized its potential to help others facing similar issues:
- Desk workers looking to improve their fitness safely
- Athletes returning from injuries who need careful pacing
- Beginners who struggle with exercise intensity management
- Anyone looking to optimize their training efficiency
Looking Forward
Our mission with Pace Science is to bridge the gap between technology and physical wellness, creating an intelligent system that acts as your personal pacing coach. We believe that smart pacing is the key to sustainable fitness improvement, and we're excited to help others achieve their fitness goals while avoiding the pitfalls of overexertion.
Join us on this journey as we develop smarter ways to exercise, one pace at a time.
