Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Mielo.
How does the ELO rating system work?
Mielo uses a modified ELO rating system similar to those used in chess. When you win a race, your rating increases, and when you lose, it decreases. The amount of change depends on the difference in ratings between you and your opponent. Racing stronger opponents gives you more points for a win.
Can I race against friends who don't live nearby?
Mielo's asynchronous racing means you and your friends can run your miles whenever and wherever is convenient. The app compares your times and updates your ratings accordingly.
How does Mielo track my runs?
Mielo uses your phone's GPS to track your runs. For the most accurate results, make sure your GPS is enabled and calibrated. The app also works with Apple Watch and most popular fitness trackers.
Can I use Mielo for distances other than a mile?
Currently, Mielo focuses exclusively on the mile distance to create a standardized competition format. This allows for fair comparisons and rankings across all users.
How are runners matched for races?
Mielo uses your ELO rating to match you with runners of similar ability. This ensures competitive and motivating races. Pro users get priority matching for faster race creation.
