Road-based apps kept planning my mountain races like flat 10Ks, so I built the plan I wanted. Karkloof 30 miler: 1st. Giba Gorge Backyard Ultra: 2nd. A 3-hour marathon. Next up: DNT and MUT George in 2027, with my plan running inside the app.

How it works

Tell it the race. Connect the watch. The weeks are built back from the finish.

01

Enter your race

Date, distance and vert. The plan starts from the course, not a generic pace zone.

02

Sync your watch

Strava or Garmin Connectâ„¢. Elevation, grade and effort come from the run you did.

Powered by Strava Garmin
03

Get your plan

It builds back from race day. Free holds a goal up to 4 months from the plan start. Premium plans up to 12 months ahead.

Built for the race in front of you

Plans built around the climbing

The week follows the date, the distance and the climbing of the race.

Synced to your watch

Strava or Garmin Connect pulls in elevation, grade and effort, so your analysis is based on the run you did, not a typed recap.

Built around race day

Free holds a goal up to 4 months from the plan start. Premium plans up to 12 months ahead, with day preferences.

Trail knowledge

Race recon, fueling for multi-hour efforts, and gear notes for the terrain you're training on.

Runner's Survival

Points for the work, milestones and a leaderboard. A reason to open the app on the easy days too.

Pricing

Free gets you started. Premium plans the whole build.

Start free. Upgrade when your race is further out or your plan needs to move with you.

FAQ

How does the 7-day trial work?

Start Premium with a card and use everything for 7 days. Cancel any time before day 7 and you won't be charged. After that it bills monthly or annually, depending on what you picked.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Cancel on the Subscription page. You keep Premium until the trial ends, or until the end of the period you've paid for.

What happens when I hit the Free limits?

You keep everything you've built. Your plans and calendar stay visible. You cannot create or update a plan, or run another analysis, until that allowance resets or you upgrade. Moving a session on the calendar is not a plan update.

What happens if I downgrade?

Nothing gets deleted. If a plan's goal is more than 4 months after its start, that plan stays readable and cannot be edited until you resubscribe. The goal date passing does not unlock it.

What currency am I billed in?

USD. If your card is in another currency, your bank converts at its own rate.

How is this different from Strava or TrainingPeaks?

Strava stores the activity. TrainingPeaks is built around load and structured workouts. Elite You starts from your race: the date, the distance and the climbing. It builds the weeks backward from that day.

Is it beginner friendly?

Yes. A first 5K and a 100 miler use the same idea: the plan is built for the race you entered, including the climbing, from where you are now.

Which watches sync?

Connect Strava or Garmin Connect. A Garmin device can connect directly. Coros, Suunto, Apple Watch and most others come through if they already send activities to Strava.
