Trail and ultra training plans that survive real life
A first 20K trail race or a 100-mile ultra. Vertical, terrain and time on feet all count, along with mileage. Adaptlete writes the next two weeks around your race, then rewrites them when life gets in the way.
On Pro, the hours, the experience level and the date you give shape every block, and the plan is rewritten when your week changes.
On Pro, a beginner's trail week holds 5 to 12 hours and an advanced runner's 11 to 20, with part of it on hiking and strength, so the same 50K gives two different plans.
The races on this page are examples. In the app you choose a distance and set your own date, so a race we have not listed works the same way.
