Best Program Out There I signed up to a training plan for the UTMB OCC in August 2023. It was for four months, I was unsure signing up but I knew I needed to be at my best to be able to run the OCC. It exceeded all of my expectations on all levels. The plan was put together by Ruth Croft and the coach I was assigned was Francesco Puppi - this was unbelievable that I was guided by Francesco on this journey. The plan was very different from what I had used in the past but it was also flexible. The strength / core workouts with the videos helped keep me injury free even though I was training 6 days a week (age 65). When I had questions Francesco always responded within 1 - 3 days and his encouragement and support was key. Logging the runs on the website was easy and the way Vert presented the dashboard and the focus on elevation really helped my prep. I caught up with the guys at the UTMB expo in Chamonix and it was clear to me they love what they do and they want others to be successful. My day on course was the best day I have had running - the plan worked a treat, my conditioning was ideal, I was fresh at the start and fine at the end. I cannot recommend this enough.

Vert.run is like no other training… Vert.run is like no other training platform I have used before. Being able to interact with a world class athlete as your own coach is inspirational. For a small price you can have your own training program specially adapted to your own needs, taking the guess work out of when and how to train for a specific event. The App itself is easy to navigate and is under constant improvement, such as the new run tracker. It has it’s own community of runners who are very welcoming and offer plenty of encouragement in the community. There are many top class athletes developing training programs for vert, so if you are a trail runner of any experience and would like to gain some insight and some improved fitness for a small cost, then Vert is definitely worth a try! 👍🏼

Mindful of injuries Currently finish up my second program with Vert.Run. They are super nice and helpful with my knee injury, and offer really helpful modifications without making me feel like I’ve missed anything!!

Great training plans and coaches Great training plans with really responsive coaches. I've completed two training plans (so far!) and enjoyed the progression through the weeks. Moi adapted my plan to fit around my needs. The plans kept me on track and the feedback from Moi kept me motivated. I've had great results, signing up for another one!

Vert.run is the best. Vert.run is one of the most affordable and straight forward ways to get great coaching for your upcoming race. I signed up wanting to improve my Pike Peak performance. Coach Francesco set me on the perfect path. I ended up setting 3 PR's in less than 4 weeks. You can't go wrong with their flexible and affordable plans.
