When it comes to triathlon success, pacing is everything. Whether you’re preparing for a sprint triathlon or chasing an Ironman World Championship slot, your triathlon pacing strategy can make or break your race. Every second counts, and knowing your race splits in advance helps you stay on target from start to finish.
The paceWiz Triathlon Pace Calculator has long been a go-to tool for athletes who want precise, data-driven pacing. Now, with the latest update, it’s even more powerful — optimized for mobile use, faster to adjust, easier to read, and packed with new insights for both training and race day.

Why Pacing Strategy Matters in Triathlon
Pacing is the “fourth discipline” of triathlon. Push too hard in the swim, and you’ll suffer on the run. Go too easy on the bike, and you’re leaving time on the course. The paceWiz Triathlon Pace Calculator helps you visualize the trade-offs between disciplines and fine-tune your strategy.
