Strength training Strength training at an Olympic level? With Peak Pro, that’s effectively possible, as Maarten Thysen is your strength trainer. If you want to excel as a runner, just running is not enough. Strength is a necessary component to make your body resilient.

Completely tailored to you, thanks to tests for each muscle...

Adaptive training plan Our free version already gives you a 100% personalized training plan, but with Peak Pro we go the extra mile and thus make the training plan also fully adaptive. But what does that mean, adaptive? Simply put: the fact that we adjust your workouts based on your recent training load. Why? Because the ideal plan isn’t ‘fixed’, as you aren’t either. Sometimes you just don’t have the necessary time to complete the training as we prescribed, so you just go out for 7 instead of 10 kilometers. Or maybe you ran a bit faster than planned, because...

RPE “I don’t want any feedback from my athlete”, said no coach ever. So if Trenara wants to bring you that ‘personal coach experience’, we also need to offer our athletes the possibility to send us feedback. Enter RPE.

Though you might have hit the paces 100% correctly, that doesn’t mean that the effort you had to put in it was the...

Terrain adjustments Definitely one of the niftiest features in Trenara, unless you live in a place where you run on completely flat tarmac roads. Not applicable to you? Read on! Despite living in the low lands, our hometown is located in the midst of hilly Haspengouw – a region very renowned for its blossoms during springtime (here’s your random fact of the day).Winding roads, constantly going up and down: our running routes never cease to amaze (read: fatigue) us. But how do you pace your effort on these hilly roads? A training schedule (often) uses ideal data and conditions. The...
