Vertical-gain progression, descent-eccentric loading, fueling rehearsal, and back-to-back long-run blocks — rebuilt every week from your Strava and Garmin data. Free forever — no card.
Weekly climbing volume ramps toward your goal D+. The plan knows the difference between a 30K with 500m gain and a 30K with 2,500m.
Time-on-feet progression with rolling and technical terrain. Back-to-back weekend blocks from week 8 for ultra distances.
60–90 g/h carbs tested on every long run for races over 90 minutes. The reason most ultras end in a walk is a gut you didn't train.
Base aerobic volume → climbing strength → race-pace + technical descents → taper. The app adapts to your weekly vert and the specifics of your goal race.
15 years coaching endurance athletes. Methodology grounded in peer-reviewed exercise science — not blog opinion. Every adaptation rule inside CoachUpFit is documented and traceable to the principle that drives it.

Trail running requires a completely different training framework from road running — time on feet replaces pace, vertical gain replaces distance, and power hiking is a performance skill. Here is how Garmin data applies to trail and ultra preparation, from grade-adjusted pace to back-to-back long runs.
ReadYour Garmin already measures cadence, ground contact time, stride length and vertical oscillation. Most athletes never use this data. Here is how elite coaches turn those numbers into a measurable economy improvement over 6–8 weeks.
ReadOvertraining syndrome can erase months of fitness in weeks. Here is the data-driven playbook serious runners and triathletes use to detect overreaching early — using Garmin HRV trends, training load signals, and weekly metrics — and how a remote coach catches it first.
ReadAnswer three questions to see a trail-specific sample week with hill repeats, long-trail Saturday, and recovery Sunday. No credit card needed.
