Great tool for those entering the ultra running world vert.run is a great option for those entering the world of ultra running. I'm a more seasoned ultra runner and it wasn't perfect for my upcoming 24-hour track race, but it's a great tool for those getting started. I would highly recommend using vert.run or a coach as transitioning to ultras is very different than road marathons or shorter trail distances.

I love the vert.run concept I love the vert.run concept, striking the balance between off-the-shelf training plans and hiring a trail running coach, and making trail running coaching more accessible. The team is responsive, and provide useful and helpfully feedback - and the response time is excellent. It can be tricky finding the right programme but the vert.run team are good in helping choose which one works for you. An online coach can provide an accountability partner who helps to keep you on track with training. I found the addition of strength and mobility videos perhaps one of the most useful elements - the parts of training we tend to ignore. I enjoyed the base training programme so much I did it twice, increasing my weekly distance by 200% and doing so without injury or over training. The additional strength and mobility workouts helped to improve on weakness and significantly improved my running on technical trails. The team was great in tweaking the programme to accommodate my life. Well done vert.run team!!

Ran my first ultra with Vert I followed the Hillary Allen 'Run your next 50k and finish strong plan' with Vert Run, and was able to run my first 50k and finish strong! The plan was good for providing accountability and motivation, as well as pushing me towards workouts I normally find excuses not to do like S&C and hill repeats. The flexibility and adjustments with the coach are great: I was able to change the plan a few times while in the middle of it. Overall I am very happy with Vert and will be using it for my next race

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!!

No regrets Vert run is an amazing training plan platform run by real humans and awesome athletes. I would highly reccomend Vert run for anyone's running goal, whether big or small. It is the whole package from running to strength training to timing advice on training and races. 10 out of 10
