I have no idea how
much fuel I've consumed...

When I started running eight years ago, I almost immediately wanted to try an ultra. What I didn't realize right away is that running an ultra and fueling one are two completely different skills.

This app isn't built for the front of the pack, chasing a podium or a finish-line clock. It's built for the rest of us: the people who signed up for something that sounded a little crazy, just to see if we could finish it. If you're newer to endurance events and you care more about completing a long day out there than winning it, this is for you.

Once I'm out there, I get locked into the effort (how my legs feel, the climb in front of me, just putting one foot in front of the other for hours), and fueling becomes an afterthought. I'll feel great early on and assume that means I'm doing everything right. Then hours later, deep into the back half, I find out the hard way that I wasn't.

That gap is exactly why I built Ultra Fuel Tracker. I wanted one place to track everything (calories, carbs, sodium, fluids) in real time, during the effort itself. Not a plan I made the night before and hoped I'd remember. Something I could actually check, mile after mile, hour after hour.

Now I use it myself, and my crew uses it too. They can look at my numbers at any aid station and tell me, in plain terms, whether I'm on track, or whether I need to eat something right now, no matter how good I feel.

Targets don't stay fixed for an entire effort either. What you need at noon isn't what you need at 2am, eighteen hours in. So the targets in the app aren't locked in. You can adjust them right in Setup as conditions change, the same way you'd adjust your pace.

I'll be honest: I can't promise this solves fueling for everyone, in every kind of event, on every kind of day. But if it helps you get to the other side of something that pushes your limits (finished, instead of just surviving it), that's the whole point. And I genuinely want to hear what's working and what isn't along the way.
