The performance sports wearables company Coros launched a new software on Tuesday titled EvoLab. This update, which will be applied to both the company’s wearables as well as its app, has a focus on sports science and the training efficiency of Coros users. The new features will be give users real-time updates on their workload, tips for ideal training and notes on recovery, among other pieces of information. Paired with the news of EvoLab was an announcement that the company will soon release two new products as well: the Coros Pace 2 Speed Series and a keychain charger.

EvoLab

EvoLab is not yet widely available, but it will be rolled out in Coros products in the coming weeks. The software will essentially turn your watch or phone into a portable coach, and it will measure every move you make. Firstly, as already mentioned, there will be real-time training load tracking, which will not only monitor the duration of your workouts, but the intensity, too. This will take the guessing out of your training, so you won’t have to worry about pushing too hard or holding yourself back and not pushing hard enough.

The update also includes aerobic and anaerobic training effect calculation, so you can know exactly how well your training sessions are working for you. This will all come together in the EvoLab fitness analysis, which will be able to do short-term and long-term forecasts of your training. Finally, it will use the information it gathers from your workouts to determine how much recovery you need, which, once again, eliminates the guesswork from training. 

EvoLab also brings several running-specific features to Coros wearables, such as performance analysis (which will compare your run to pre-workout expectations), race predictions and pace guides (this is offered for 5K, 10K, half- and full marathons) and more. For now, these features are focused on the road and track, but the team at Coros has plans to expand to trail running soon as well.

“Our team of developers have spent the last 12 months on the EvoLab project, responding to the performance needs of our users,” said Coros CEO Lewis Wu. “In the process, they have completely revolutionized the way athletes receive personalized fitness evaluations from a GPS Watch.”

New products 

Coros is introducing the latest addition to the Pace GPS watch lineup with the Pace 2 Speed Series. This will come in three colours: red (which is inspired by track surfaces), green (for the pines in the Pacific Northwest) and gold (the colour of medal that Coros athletes Emma Coburn and Eliud Kipchoge are looking to win this summer at the Tokyo Games).

The keychain charger is also a cool new product from Coros. As Coros officials notes, one of the biggest problems with watch chargers is that they’re so easy to lose. This fixes that problem, as this charger clips onto a set of keys, meaning you’ll always have it on you. 

Both the Pace 2 Speed Series and Coros keychain charger will be available on coros.ca.
