Successful 50 mile mountain Ultra

I signed up to vert run after training myself for some time I was mid way through a training block and having some issues and where my training didn t seem to be effective but also I felt like I was overtraining They took some time on the chat to help me choose the right plan for my race 50 miles in the mountains and my current fitness level and customised the plan to make the schedule fit the race date They even helped me to change the date of the race at the last minute when COVID restrictions caused our plans to change The plan itself was really good it helped me to stay motivated and make every session planned because I knew the purpose of each session Having this structure in my training really helped me to progress beyond what I had been doing just running more miles The other part of vert that is great is seeing the coach comments on your runs twice a week it definitely provides that little extra incentive to complete each workout and do well I don t think I would have been successful running my first 50 miler without having this coaching I would definitely recommend vert run to anyone who doesn t have a coach who wants to train for trail or ultra racing It really is the next best thing to having a coach but at a fraction of the price

Highly recommend

I signed up for Vert run when I started planning for a trail half marathon -- I am a new trail runner who had never done a race on roads or trails that far before Through Vert I had a coach who would tailor just the right training strategy to my needs keeping my past injury history in mind and check in with me a couple of times a week offering encouragement when needed When training got hard or I felt I didn t have the spark I needed on a given day my coach was someone to talk to someone who knew this sport and understood the mental ups and downs that a trail runner can go through Vert s strategy isn t overbearing or excessively intense but it is motivational and forward-thinking Sure enough come race day I hit my goals and then some

I was a newbie to running age 48 when

I was a newbie to running age 48 when I found the VertRun coaching plans online earlier this year I think up to that point my longest run clocked in at around 12kms I signed up to Dylan s coaching plan in April as I had aspirations to run a half marathon sometime over the next few months but had no idea how to train for it What I found was that the guys at VertRun became my own personal cheer squad every comment I made on the coaching interface they gave me feedback and encouragement on I followed the plan and my running improved out of sight Massive PBs in every distance up to 30kms including a 1 47 half marathon After completing Dylan s plan I moved onto Lucy s to prepare for a 50k trail ultra I absolutely loved that plan as well Great structure and consistency and it helped me to not only complete the ultra but finish in the top 20 overall An achievement beyond my wildest dreams I would highly highly recommend the guys at VertRun for runners of every capability Happy trails

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

Love Vert Run

Vert Run is a very efficient and personal way to upgrade my trailrunning game Contact with the trainers really easy and gives you that little bit extra push in your training In a weird year without real races the team keeps me motivated and helps me reach the next level

I loved vertrun

I loved vertrun My coach was very helpful with advice and tips and helped me work around lockdown restrictions with my training He was quick to comment on my days and provide feedback I ll be back again soon

Awesome for taking your running to a new level

After attempting my own training plans pulled together from random books websites and articles and failing to follow them too many times I ve finally found a structure that works really really well Awesome plans well laid out and easy to follow and the online coach feedback concept is perfect It s not in your face nor too laid back they check in regularly and motivate advise when needed it s a great balance of self-responsibility and structured training The plan does kick off quite intensely from the start so I would recommend having a small base level of fitness but after the initial week and adapting to the time intensity you go at your own pace and after about week 3 I had already noticed massive improvements in my strength and endurance and now 9 weeks in am cruising the long runs and digging my running again 10 10 would highly recommend pull the trigger and start smashing out those trails again

Great platform and great idea

Great platform and great idea it s good to find help in the training hope it thrives
