UltraTrain 2.0 for iPhone and Apple Watch
Train for your next ultra. Earn your real rank.
Ultra, your coach, builds your plan backwards from race day, adapts it every week, and ranks you on one scale from Bronze to Ultra Legend.
- 50K to 100 miles and backyard plans
- Syncs with Apple Health and Strava
- English and French
This is your week. Today is an easy run, keep it chatty.
Any race, any format, one scale. Race names belong to their organisers; UltraTrain is not affiliated with them.
Rank your race
Which tier is your race?
Type a distance and a climb, or tap a race. The app's own formula does the rest: every 100 m of climb counts as one more kilometre.
Equivalent km
65eq km
50 km + 1 500 m / 100 = 65 equivalent km
Race tier
Gold. Now the climb starts to count. Train the legs for the descents too.
Every 100 m of climb counts as one more kilometre.
That is the only conversion in the app. One scale for everyone, road and mountain, men and women.
The ladder
From Bronze to Ultra Legend.
Seven tiers, three divisions each. Your level score places you, the XP from your training moves you up, and real life can move you down.
Silver
350 to 450
Regular weeks and a first 50K in sight.
900 XP per division
Gold
450 to 550
A solid base and real climbing in your weeks.
1 400 XP per division
Platinum
550 to 650
100 km is a goal, not a dream. Without a finished ultra, your rank stops here.
2 000 XP per division
Diamond
650 to 750
Needs one finished ultra in your history. From here, the results do the talking.
2 800 XP per division
Champion
750 to 850
Front of the pack on long mountain races.
4 400 XP per division
Ultra Legend
850 and above
One division. The very top of the scale.
No division above this one

How it works
Three steps to the start line.
Answer Ultra's questions
One question per screen, no form. Where you run, which ultras tempt you, your best times, how many days a week you can train. "Not sure" is always an answer.
Get your plan and your rank
Your answers place you on the ladder. Pick a race, or a first ultra, or just a fitness block, and the plan is built from race day backwards.
Train and climb
Every run and every completed session earns XP. Validated rest days too. Finish a race and your level is recomputed. Stop for weeks and the rank slips, like real life.
Your plan
Built from race day backwards. Adjusted when life happens.
Pick a race and a date. The phases size themselves the way the app does: a taper shaped by the race, a build before it, a base before that, recovery weeks in between.
Weeks to race day20 weeks
This week, you...
Good week. Keep the easy days easy, the hard day is Saturday.
Share your runs
Your run, your photo, one clean overlay.
Twenty-nine templates drawn from your run's data: the trace, the climb, the splits, the summit. Every one keeps a 300 m privacy zone around your start and finish.

Trace
Your GPS line and four numbers. The classic.
Swipe the phone or tap a template. Sample run on every overlay. Export as a story, a square post, or a transparent sticker.
Why UltraTrain

- Miss a week and the plan carries on as if nothing happened
- Flat kilometres, as if 100 m of climb were free
- Charts to read on your own

- A plan built from your race's distance, elevation and cutoffs, backwards from race day
- A level score from your real results and a rank you earn with the work you do
- A plan that adapts every week to what you actually ran, and why you skipped

- Ultra briefs you before each session and reacts after every run
One scale for everyone. Same for men and women, same for every kind of ultra.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
How much does UltraTrain cost?
UltraTrain is a subscription bought in the app: 14.99 € per month or 49.99 € per year. There is no free tier: the whole app is unlocked from day one, and you can cancel anytime from your App Store subscriptions.
Which watches and apps sync with it?
UltraTrain has its own Apple Watch app and reads your runs from Apple Health and Strava. Garmin, COROS, Suunto and Polar runs come through Strava or Apple Health. Direct Garmin and COROS sync is not available yet. Completed runs can be uploaded to Strava too.
I have never run an ultra. Is it for me?
Yes. The My first ultra path builds you up from your current base to a 50K, 60K, 80K or 100K, with safe minimum timelines. The rank starts you where you really are, and finishing your first ultra is what unlocks Diamond. You can also pick Just build fitness with no race at all.
Road, trail or backyard?
All three. Plans cover 5K to marathon on road or trail, ultras of any distance and elevation, and backyard and elimination-laps formats where the pace is imposed and the goal is counted in loops. Elevation always counts: every 100 m of climb adds one kilometre of effort.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from Settings, your name, Subscriptions on your iPhone. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for. Your data stays in your private iCloud until you delete it.
