Are the cold dark December miles hurting you? Coach is hassling you for poor numbers? Or maybe you just haven鈥檛 collected enough Strava KOMs this year?

A new website, , has you covered. It鈥檚 a simple and genius concept that automatically improves your performance with the click of a button. Just plug in your Garmin after a workout, choose by percentage how much you want your ride improved, and the app auto-generates a file with the same route but improved metrics.

For example, if you choose to reduce your ride time by, say, 25 percent, that 1 hour 29 minute ride gets trimmed by over 20 minutes. All segments are shrunk accordingly, meaning you could single-handedly obliterate every hammer in town. There鈥檚 even a toggle that let鈥檚 you simultaneously reduce your heart rate, so not only will you crush everyone, but you鈥檒l look like you were while you were doing it. But maybe heed and practice a little moderation.

Okay, not really. Riding鈥檚 got you down that much? Go skiing. And if you鈥檙e that worried about KOMs, maybe it鈥檚 time to take a little break from Strava for a while. Now slather on some , strap up those booties, and climb back into the saddle. And remember: There are no shortcuts鈥攋ust ask Lance.
