Trimate

Train for your first sprint or your next Ironman with a plan that's actually built around you — your race, your experience, your week. Trimate is the triathlon coach in your pocket: personalised swim, bike and run training that adapts as you go, guided sessions that talk you through every interval, and nutrition planned around the training you actually do. YOUR PLAN, NOT A TEMPLATE • Tell us your race (sprint to Ironman — or 5K to marathon, TT, open-water) and how much time you've got. • No power meter or GPS watch needed: answer a few plain-English questions, and simple benchmark sessions in your first weeks set your true paces. • Proper periodisation: base, build, peak and taper, with recovery weeks, race-pace work as your event approaches, and sessions that vary week to week — no Groundhog Day training. • See your predicted finish time — leg by leg for a triathlon — and watch it move as your fitness does. GUIDED SESSIONS THAT COACH YOU • Voice coaching speaks every interval over your music — your playlist dips, the instruction plays, the music comes back. It nudges you too: "ease off" or "pick it up" when you drift off target. • Live GPS distance and pace on outdoor runs and rides, tinted against your target. Track sessions are written the way runners read them — 5 × 1 km, 8 × 800m — and each rep ends when you've covered the distance, not when a timer guesses you have. • Lock-screen Live Activity and a companion Apple Watch app with live heart rate and effort. A PLAN THAT BENDS, NOT BREAKS • Life happens: move any session to another day and Trimate checks the week still makes sense — no back-to-back hard days, long sessions protected. • One tap rebalances a week that's drifted. • Training going better (or worse) than planned? Trimate spots it and offers to recalibrate your zones and volume. FUEL THE WORK • Daily energy, carb and protein targets sized to each day's training. • Meals planned automatically — and it learns what you actually eat. • Stuck for dinner? Tell it what's in the fridge and how much time you've got; get three good options that fit your day. • Before / during / after fuelling guidance for every big session, plus a weekly shopping list. PLAYS NICELY WITH YOUR KIT • Garmin: export any structured session as a .fit file to follow on your watch or head unit. • Apple Health: workouts from your Apple Watch, Garmin, COROS, Wahoo or Zwift tick off your plan automatically, and sessions count toward your rings. Whether it's your first triathlon or a new PB, Trimate gives you the plan, the coaching and the fuelling — all in one place. TRIMATE PREMIUM • Start with a 7-day free trial, then £12.99 a month or £79.99 a year (US $14.99 / $89.99). Prices vary by country. • Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm your purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Any unused part of a free trial ends when you subscribe. • Terms of Use: https://trimate.broadai.co.uk/terms • Privacy Policy: https://trimate.broadai.co.uk/privacy
