WHY RUNNERS CHOOSE TRENARA

PERSONALIZED RUNNING PLANS
Get a running plan based on your current fitness, goal and available training days. Trenara provides structured workouts and personalized training paces for every level and distance, from starting to run to preparing for an ultramarathon.

PERSONALIZED TO YOUR PHYSIOLOGY
Set your first and second lactate thresholds, LT1 and LT2, and Trenara automatically adjusts your training zones, paces and sessions to your physiology.
No recent race result? Complete our in-app six-minute fitness test to recalibrate your current fitness and keep your training paces accurate.

A PLAN THAT UNDERSTANDS YOUR TRAINING
Connect Garmin, Strava or Polar and let Trenara compare every completed workout with what was planned.
With Peak Pro, Trenara Intelligence uses your recent training load and feedback to adjust upcoming sessions. If your long runs are progressing too quickly, for example, Trenara can spread that progression over a longer period.

### 5/5 — Want to avoid injury whilst improving your running

*2026-01-30*

This is the app for you. No need to figure out when to push it or when to step off the gas. It’s absolutely worth the pro price for all the extra features it offers. It takes all the guess work out of my training, and makes it easy to follow with it going directly to my garmin. This is honestly the best app I have for my wellbeing!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for this lovely review, Ali! 🙏 Glad to be part of your running journey.

### 2/5 — Potential, but disappointing

*2022-03-26*

It’s an ok app, but it’s not ready for prime time. Something is wrong on the back end with building a training schedule. It always defaults to the wrong dates. Also, the AI feedback is condescending at times, especially on interval sessions. Overall, it tries to do too much, and it is not successful. The app gets in the way of running plans and training schedules. Any potential benefits of AI feedback are just too frustrating to work with.

**Developer response:** Hi Ben Kingsley, as told, the problem is a displaying issue (thus front end). It will be fixed in a next release. Thanks for the feedback, this way we were able to find and reproduce the issue.

### 5/5 — Jason Koop in virtual form

*2021-05-20*

Well, maybe not quite Jason, as they just added 60k plans, but close. Was and early adopter a year and half ago and then dropped it due to lack of longer distances but now I came back and … longer distances, more flexbility, syncing with Garmin both ways, and individual sessions that immediately adapt pacing to your selection of surface (road, trail, single track) and topology (flat, hilly). Yeah - happy to pay for the Pro subscription even with some remaining warts on the app. More fun running without having to think about what type of session is needed.

### 1/5 — Non-functional application with long way to go on UX

*2021-01-05*

Predicted running times were far off from reality, app was extremely cumbersome to manage and added zero value to my training or performance. On top, the coaching/messaging it provides is probably the most inadequate I have ever seen in terms of tone and content.

**Developer response:** Hi there!

Our next version will focus on the UX - as a startup we indeed have things to learn. Regarding the predicted running times: could you please send us a mail at support@trenara.com? Because with thousands of users we're spot on, looks like there went something wrong with your fitness calibration. That's also probably why the training program wasn't up to speed.

Schöne Grüße 
Christophe Roosen, co-founder

### 5/5 — Best Personal coach app

*2020-09-14*

One of the Best Personal running coach apps I tried.

**Developer response:** Thanks, we're glad to hear that!
