Peak Days: Trail Running Coach

I'm 40, with a family and a busy job, so my running happens early in the morning or in hours I have carefully negotiated. That time is precious, and mine was going into admin: my plan in one app, my routes in another, my recovery numbers in a third, and none of them talking to my watch. I never found the one place that connects all of it, so I built it.

Peak Days is a trail and ultra running coach that handles the admin, so that all that is left to do is run.

BEFORE THE RUN, AND AFTER IT
- Advice for the session in front of you: what it is for, an overview of the route, how it should feel and what to watch
- Afterwards your run is read across the day's goal, each climb, your splits, your heart rate and your cadence, folded into one clear story
- And compared with your own recent runs, so you can see it moving

ROUTES MATCHED TO EACH SESSION
- The route fits the workout, not just a distance. Intervals and speed work get flat ground. Hill repeats get the nearest real hill, with a warm-up and cool-down jog built in
- From your door if you live near trails. If you do not, we have categorised trailheads worldwide and build from those, with the drive shown up front
- Or drop a pin anywhere on the map and we draw the route that best fits that day
- Distance, climb and how much of it is trail, all shown before you commit, with a warning when a path crosses land marked private
- Bring your own too: import any GPX

ON YOUR WRIST, BY ITSELF
- Garmin: two Peak Days apps on the Connect IQ store put the session into your workout list as a real Garmin workout, and its route into your courses as a real Garmin course, with ClimbPro
- Suunto: every planned run goes across as a SuuntoPlus guide, and its route to your Suunto route library to navigate from
- No watch? Your phone records the run with GPS
- Your runs, heart rate, HRV and sleep are read from Health Connect, only with your permission

A COACH THAT WORKS FROM YOUR REAL WEEK
- Your weekly volume is measured from the runs you actually do
- Once a week it reviews what you completed, whether the key runs happened and how hard the easy days felt, then proposes an adjustment you confirm with one tap. Your plan is never rewritten without you
- Ask it anything in the chat and the answer comes from your own numbers

PROGRESS, STRENGTH AND RECORDS
- Weekly achievements against your goals, VO2 max, training load and heart rate drift over time
- Strength and mobility days open on the first exercise and walk you through one at a time to a finish you can log
- Set a record and Peak Days helps you celebrate it

THREE WAYS TO TRAIN
A race or a big day, with the weeks built backwards from the date. Getting fitter, in gentle blocks with easy weeks baked in. Or staying fit, at a steady rhythm that never escalates.

WHO IT IS FOR
Anyone who would rather run than plan. Outsource the admin and just run.

A FEW MORE THINGS
- Open it with no connection and your plan and your saved routes are still there, dated, read only until you are back online
- Optional automatic upload of the runs you record in Peak Days to Strava, always your choice
- English, French, German, Dutch and Spanish

PRIVACY
Your training data is yours. Chat coaching is opt in: until you agree, nothing about you is sent. Replies are generated by world-class AI, only from your own runs, readiness signals and plan. Never used for advertising, never sold. https://peak-days.com/privacy
