Race for Eggs Speed Training Guide: How to Gain Speed Fast

The official description opens with Train to Gain Speed, which puts training ahead of racing and pets in the order the game itself presents. It is also the cheapest thing you can do, because it costs no Cash. What the description does not include is any rate: no speed gained per session, no cap, and no indication that gains slow down as you approach one.

That absence is the reason this guide is built around measurement rather than a training schedule. Every zone entry in our data carries a null speed threshold, because the developer has never published the speed a zone requires. There is no official target to train towards, so the only meaningful target is your previous measurement of yourself.

The result is a loop you can run indefinitely without any inside information: train, time the same route, compare the number to last session, and only then decide what to spend Cash on. None of those steps depends on a number the game refused to publish.

Pick a short route with an unambiguous start and finish, somewhere you can stand still without being pushed, and use the same one every time. Empty your hands so nothing is carried. Start your timer the moment you move and stop it the moment you cross the finish, and do it three times rather than once so a single stumble does not become your baseline.

Take the middle of the three times, or the best if you prefer a ceiling, but then keep using the same convention every session. The absolute number is less important than the comparison: a route time of forty-two seconds means nothing on its own, while forty-two seconds today against forty-six last week is a real result you can act on.

If you would rather not time anything, you can use race attempts instead. Run two attempts where you enter with the same loadout and no egg in hand, and compare your placings and the visible gaps. It is a coarser method, but it uses the game's own race conditions and needs no stopwatch.

Now repeat the exact process while carrying an egg: same route, same start line, same three attempts, same timing method. The only variable you have changed is the load, so the difference between the two sets of times is your carry penalty expressed in your own units. Nothing about that penalty is published, so this measurement is the only version of it you can actually trust.

Keep the comparison honest by holding everything else constant. Use the same server population where you can, since a crowded route and an empty one are not comparable, and avoid measuring after an update on one side of the pair and before it on the other. Rebuild both baselines whenever the game updates, because it updates every Saturday.

Write down both numbers, bare and carried, side by side. They are the two halves of the only performance figure that matters in a race, and the pair is far more useful than either number alone.

Races are run while carrying an egg, so a race tests your carried speed and pays no attention to your bare speed. A player with a spectacular bare number and a large carry penalty can lose to a slower player who loses less when loaded. That gap, not the headline figure, is what training and routing should be aimed at.

For a shape to think with, use a hypothetical example: if your bare speed were 40 and carrying cost you 20 per cent, you would race at 32. The 20 is an illustration and not a game value, and the real number is whatever your own two route timings say. What the example demonstrates is that a ten per cent improvement in bare speed is a much smaller improvement in the speed that crosses the finish line.

Training still helps, because raising bare speed lifts carried speed with it. But the two measurements have to move together for a race result to follow, so check both after each training block rather than assuming one implies the other.

A session that produces a usable number is built from controls, not effort. Train in the same zone, warm up with one untimed run so your first attempt is not the cold one, then time three attempts and record the middle. Stop adding attempts once the times start rising, because fatigue is noise rather than data.

Keep the rest of your loadout identical between sessions. Nothing published indicates that pets or game passes change your speed, but since you cannot verify that, holding them constant removes the question entirely and makes your comparison valid.

Then take the result into a race and let the field judge it. Training raises the number; racing tells you whether the number was the thing holding you back. Alternating a training block with a few races, rather than grinding one activity for an hour, gives you feedback on both questions in the same session.

1. Same zone, same start line, same finish line every session.
2. One warm-up run, then three timed attempts, and keep the middle.
3. Same loadout and same hand state as the previous session.
4. Rebuild the baseline after each Saturday update.
5. Record the number before you decide what to buy.

Training is working when your route time falls across sessions and your race placings improve with it. A single faster run is not evidence; a pattern over several sessions is. Compare like with like, because a time recorded while carrying is not comparable to one recorded empty-handed, and a run on a busy server is not comparable to a quiet one.

When the numbers stop moving, that is information rather than failure. A plateau means the cheap speed is behind you and the next gain has to come from an upgrade, a route change, or the carry leg rather than from more repetitions of the same training. Do not keep grinding a method that has stopped returning anything measurable.

For the long view, the badges API gives the only official progression markers we have: Defeat T-Rex at 48 per cent of badge holders, Defeat SPHINX at 17.9 per cent, and Defeat MAMOTH at 0.6 per cent. Those are clear rates rather than speed requirements, but they show where the game's real drop-offs are, and they are the honest yardstick for how far a training routine has carried you.

There is no published speed cap, no published gain per training session, no published carry penalty, and no published speed threshold for any zone. The tag list on the game page includes Speed and Fast, which confirms speed is a first-class system, but tags are labels rather than values and none of them gives you something to plan against.

Be equally careful with purchases. The four game passes we can report, x2 Cash Gains at 75 R$, VIP at 85 R$, plus two pet slots at 95 R$ and plus four pet slots at 185 R$, are reported to affect Cash and pet slots. Nothing indicates any of them affects speed. The reported dice table, from Golden at a reported 2x through Rainbow at a reported 7x, concerns luck multipliers and costs, not movement, and it comes from one outlet rather than the developer.

That leaves measurement as the only reliable input. If a pass or pet does change your route time, your own timings will show it, and if it does not, you will have avoided spending on a number that was never published in the first place.
