Vert.Run Announces Launch Of Android And iOS Mobile App

Vert.Run is announcing the launch of its Android and iOS mobile app. The platform for trail and ultra-marathon running provides professional guidance for runners to become stronger athletes, go on bigger adventures, and unlock their full potential. The program is available at https://vert.run, Google Play, and the iTunes store.

Vert.Run’s Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer, Kirsten Kortebein, says the app is ideal for people interested in trail running, but don’t necessarily know where to start. “Our goal is to take the guesswork out of training, and help everyone from beginners to ultramarathoners discover what they’re really capable of.”

The company’s founders are on a mission to bring the high of trail running to everybody, everywhere. “While private coaching is the pinnacle, we understand that few people can actually afford it,” Kortebein says, “Which is why Vert.run is the perfect alternative for everyone who wants to discover trail running, but needs to do so on a budget.”

The training plans are designed by world-class professional trail runners – winners of the most competitive and prestigious ultra-marathons in the world. “The plans are unique to you, and your training plan will adapt to your level of experience, current fitness regiment, changing schedule, training conditions and goals.”

For those just discovering and those more advanced in trail running, Kortebein says, it’s important to avoid common mistakes that come up. “Most people think training for an ultra-marathon requires running every day. But rest is important,” she says, “Plus, people have to realize you train your body, plus your nutrition, plus your gear for a race. Additionally, it’s important to taper your training down over the course of 7 to 10 days before the race, so you run the real race at your peak level of freshness.”
