Trailia
Read full descriptionHide full description
Trailia builds your trail running plan around you: your goal race, the terrain and vertical you can train on, the days and time you have each week, and how every session felt. From your first trail race to 50K, 100K and 100-mile mountain ultras, the plan keeps adjusting as your weeks change. A PLAN BUILT AROUND YOUR LIFE - Choose how many days you run, add strength sessions and set weekday and weekend time limits - Set your typical week (long run, quality, easy and rest days) and workouts are scheduled around it - Log how each workout felt and the coming weeks adapt - Change your plan in plain language: "Move my long run to Thursday, I have a race Sunday." STRUCTURED FOR TRAIL AND ULTRA Periodized Base, Build and Taper phases sized to your race date and experience, with easy runs, tempo, intervals, hill repeats, long runs and optional strength. Plan structure, elevation modeling and race prediction account for what trail running demands: vertical gain, technical terrain and time on feet over pace. RACE PREDICTOR FOR YOUR COURSE Set your goal race with distance, elevation gain, terrain and date, then upload the GPX course. Trailia gives you a three-tier finish time prediction (fastest, most likely, slowest) with a confidence rating, your key training gaps, the focus for the weeks ahead and a race-day strategy. Race-day fueling plans are built into your long runs so you can practice them. SYNC YOUR WATCH AND ACTIVITIES Connect Strava, Garmin Connect or Polar Flow, or import GPX, FIT and CSV files. Activities are matched to your planned workouts automatically, and every completed session gets a review with feedback on pacing, effort distribution and what to adjust next time. A COACH THAT KNOWS YOUR PLAN Ask the AI coach chat anything: why a session is scheduled, how to handle a hard week, what to eat before your race. Answers are based on your plan, your training history and your goal. TRAINING ANALYTICS Distance, vertical gain, pace, heart rate zones, cadence and training load over 7, 30 or 90 days, or any custom range. The ACWR chart helps you manage injury risk, and week-over-week and month-over-month views show where your training is heading. MORE TOOLS - Find trails for your workouts via Komoot, matched to your distance and elevation targets - Injury tracking with a recovery plan, training adjustments and check-ins - Automatic sync of your plan to Google Calendar - Share your plan with a public link - Shoe rotation with distance tracking and replacement alerts - 50+ strength exercises with video demonstrations Whether it's your first trail race or your tenth ultra, the plan starts where you are.

Runnerd is a running coach and a serious analytics app in one. It builds a plan around your goal, explains every recommendation and works with the runs you've already logged. No subscription. No account. No compromises. HOW IT WORKS Connect Apple Health and Runnerd reads your past runs, whether they came from your Apple Watch, your iPhone or another running app. No blank slate: Runnerd knows where you stand from day one. Keep tracking with whatever you use today. Set a goal, like your next half marathon, and pick a coach. The Patient One builds up carefully, The Ambitious One pushes harder, and The Balanced One sits in between. The difference shows up in your plan, not just in the tone. Runnerd maps out every week until race day and schedules more of the run types you enjoy. You can add your own runs whenever you like. Each morning, your coach checks the plan against your readiness. After each run, it reviews how it went. Ahead of your goal? It'll tell you. Goal asking for more than your coach allows? It'll tell you that too. FOR NERDS WHO RUN Fitness, fatigue and form, running economy, intensity, training load: Runnerd shows whether your training is working and explains every term along the way. It's all built on proven sports science, not AI: Banister for fitness and form, Daniels VDOT for training paces and predictions, Karvonen for heart rate zones. IPHONE AND MAC Check in on your iPhone, dig deeper on your Mac with a native Mac app. Your data syncs through your private iCloud. Runnerd collects nothing and runs no servers. AND THE DETAILS Shoe mileage with a heads-up before a pair wears out. Personal bests, spotted automatically. Running partners. Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Share runs, weeks and personal bests as images. FREE, WITH A ONE-TIME PRO UPGRADE Runnerd is free to use. Pro adds race predictions, running technique analysis, GPX export and The Ambitious One. One purchase covers iPhone and Mac.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Runnerd at every 2 weeks against Trailia's every 6 months. Trailia's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
