How It Works

Your Plan,
Built by Science

Upload your activity data from your Garmin device and our custom-designed training tool will build a periodized plan tailored to your real fitness — or, if you don't have a Garmin, answer a few quick questions and we'll build your plan from there.

01
Tell Us Your Goal

Pick your target race — 50K, 50 miler, 100K, or 100 miler. Set the date and we reverse-engineer your training timeline.

02
Share Your Baseline

Current weekly mileage, longest recent run, training history, and injury background. We use this to set your starting point safely.

03
Define Your Schedule

How many days per week, your available long run day, and any scheduling constraints. Your plan fits your life — not the other way around.

04
Get Your Plan

Receive a week-by-week periodized plan with easy days, quality sessions, long runs, and built-in recovery — backed by exercise science.

Salomon ADV Skin 12

The gold standard for 50-mile+ races. Bounces less than anything else we've tested. Storage that actually makes sense.

Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z

Ultra-light, packable, and durable enough for rocky descents. The go-to for hundred-milers where every ounce counts.
