Good application. I was happy with the application for the most part. The interaction and engagement with the coach is reasonable for what you pay. I did have some issues with an auto re-subscription at the end of my first training cycle, but the company to their credit eventually did reimburse the full amount including processing fees.

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!!

Lucy Bartholomew Training Plan I just completed the Lucy Bartholomew training plan in the lead up to a 100km event. The plan was flexible, fun and challenging and the check-ins with my coach were a great way to keep myself accountable. I achieved more than I expected including Parkrun PB’s week after week, a greater love for uphill running and a solid result for my 100km event. I’m really excited about starting my next training plan, there’s no stopping me now!

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! 👍🏼

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
