User reviews

Second to none

This app has transformed my training, it’s built by athletes for athletes of all abilities.
The metrics and attention to detail are incredible and the app is continually improving which goes to show the commitment to improving the users experience and ultimately their fitness.

I finally feel seen

I have tried several different coaching apps. But , this one makes you feel confident and strangely seen. My fitness and overall performance is improving weekly and with ease. This app truly is for front middle and back pack runners. I can’t recommend it enough for trail and ultra distances.

Interesting but needs improvements

Very interesting app dedicated to trail running, but the user experience / design is a bit complicated and it really needs to be able to synchronise planned activités to Garmin watches.

The perfect coach

This app has changed the way I think, plan and execute training for trail runs and ultras. The specifity and flexibility of the plans are perfect for where I am with my fitness and performance. The app is super useable and so easy to navigate. And what’s better than having world champion ultra runners for advice on all things ultra running plus an epic community of like minded folk!!!

Training app that works

Great app that allows you to fit in training around your schedule. I struggled with shin splints before starting with this app and have had no problems since because of the gradual building that the app sets out.
