Ironman & 70.3 training — or whatever you're chasing
Your training. Your fueling.
On track.
Train Tracks keeps it simple: get your workouts onto the calendar you actually live by, understand and track your nutrition with targets that match the day's training, and get where you want to go. Chasing something big? Give it a race date and it builds a full week-by-week Ironman or 70.3 plan.

How it works
From sign-up to starting line in three steps
Tell it your race
Pick Half Ironman 70.3 or full Ironman 140.6, set your race date, and answer three honest questions about your recent training. No lab tests, no FTP required.
Get a plan on your real calendar
Train Tracks builds a phased plan — base, build, peak, taper — counted backwards from race day, and schedules every session onto the calendar you already live by.
Train, sync, adjust
Finish a workout and it syncs from Strava. Rate how it felt, and when something's off the app suggests a change — with a reason. You accept it or you don't.
No race on the calendar? Skip it. Set up a training block instead — name the focus, lay out your own week — and scheduling, fueling, and Strava sync all work exactly the same.
Features
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
Phased like the pros
Base, build, peak, taper — placed automatically from your race date and history, with long sessions that progress backwards from race day.
Lives on your calendar
Workouts are scheduled onto your actual calendar, around your actual life — not trapped in another app you have to remember to open.
Syncs with Strava
Completed swims, rides, and runs import automatically and get matched to the plan. Your week fills itself in.
Listens when you rate a workout
A 10-second review after each session powers recovery flags: if easy days keep coming in hard, the app notices before you break.
Easy weeks built in
Every fourth week drops to 60% volume on purpose. Adaptation happens when you absorb the work — not when you pile on more.
All five disciplines
Swim, bike, run, brick, and strength — each session with a purpose line and an effort cue, so you always know why today exists.
No race required
Between builds, or not racing at all? Run a training block: name the focus — build muscle, cut, base fitness, your own words — lay out your week, and everything works the same.
Fueling built in
A full Fuel tab reads the day's planned sessions and sets calorie and carb targets to match — rest days eat like rest days, long days eat like long days.
Race weight, the sane way
Pick a goal — race weight, lean gain, or a healthy cut — and daily calories adjust at a safe pace that never starves the training.
Fuel
Eat for the work required
Most training apps stop at the workout. Train Tracks has a full Fuel tab: it reads the day's planned sessions and sets calorie and macro targets to match. Protein and fat hold steady; carbs do the moving — from 3.5 g/kg on rest days up to 9 g/kg on long-session days.
Log it in seconds. Scan a barcode, photograph the nutrition label, search the food database, or just type it — “two eggs and toast” comes back as macros you confirm.
Honest targets. Skipped sessions don't count — a bailed long ride never tells you to eat like you rode it.
Race weight, without the crash diet. Choose a goal — race weight, lean gain, a healthy cut, or hold steady — and calories adjust at a pace that never undercuts your training.
Take it to any coach. One tap copies your day — targets, what you've eaten, what's in your kitchen — as a prompt any AI assistant can turn into tonight's meal plan.
The shape of a season
Counted backwards from race day
Taper and peak get locked in first, build gets its six weeks, and every remaining week goes to base — the unglamorous miles that make race day possible.
Base
Easy aerobic volume. Build the engine before you rev it.
Build
The hard work: tempo and intervals on top of the base.
Peak
Race-specific. Open-water swims, fueling rehearsal, biggest days.
Taper
Volume drops, freshness rises. Trust the work — it's in the bank.
Race day: the only deadline that matters.
Philosophy
A guide.
Not a dictator.
Every recommendation comes with a reason, an accept button, and a dismiss button. The plan never changes behind your back, and the app never pretends to know your body better than you do. No VO₂ guesses, no fantasy finish-time predictions — just consistency, which is the thing that actually finishes Ironmans.
Full sentences. If you can't chat, back off.
Comfortably hard. A few words at a time.
Embarrassingly easy on purpose. That's the workout.
Real effort cues from the app — by feel, never by pace.

FAQ
Questions, answered
How is my Ironman training plan generated?
You give Train Tracks a race date and answer three questions about your recent training — sessions per week, longest run, longest ride. From that it places a phase timeline (base, build, peak, taper) counted backwards from race day and fills each week with sessions whose long-workout durations progress toward the race. Same inputs, same plan — there's no black box.
Does it work for both Half Ironman 70.3 and full Ironman 140.6?
Yes. You choose the distance during onboarding and the plan's phases, session mix, and long-workout progression are built for that race.
Do I have to be training for a race?
No. Race builds are the flagship, but Train Tracks doesn't tell you what to train for. Set up a training block instead: pick a focus — build muscle, cut, base fitness, or your own words — lay out a simple repeating week, and scheduling, fueling, logging, and Strava matching all work exactly the same. When you do enter a race, the build takes over from there.
How many hours a week will I train?
You choose between a standard load of 10–12 sessions a week or a minimum load of 7–8. Long runs are hard-capped at two hours — the plan is built around consistency, not hero workouts.
Does Train Tracks sync with Strava?
Yes. Connect Strava and completed activities import automatically and are matched to planned workouts, so your week fills itself in without manual logging.
Does Train Tracks handle nutrition and fueling?
Yes — Fuel is a core tab, not an add-on. It reads the day's planned sessions and sets calorie and macro targets to match: carbohydrate scales from 3.5 g/kg on rest days up to 9 g/kg on long-session days, while protein and fat stay steady. Log food by scanning a barcode, photographing a nutrition label, searching the food database, or just typing what you ate.
Can Train Tracks help me get to race weight?
Yes. Set a goal — a target race weight, lean gain, the fastest healthy cut, or holding steady — and the app paces daily calories toward it at a sustainable rate, with a safe floor so a weight goal never starves your training.
What happens if I miss workouts or get sick?
The plan never rewrites itself behind your back. When life happens, Train Tracks raises a suggestion with a reason — make tomorrow easier, shuffle the week, absorb the gap — and you accept or dismiss it. Every fourth week is also a built-in easy week at 60% volume.
Is Train Tracks a coach?
It's a guide, not a dictator — and not a replacement for a human coach if you want one. It doesn't pretend to predict your fitness or your finish time. It gives you a sane, phased plan, keeps it on your calendar, and helps you show up consistently, which is the thing that actually gets you to the finish line.
How much does Train Tracks cost?
$9.99 per month or $69.99 per year, both with a 14-day free trial. Subscriptions are billed through the App Store and you can cancel anytime in your Apple subscription settings.
Is Train Tracks available on Android?
Train Tracks is currently iPhone-only. Android is on the roadmap — email us and we'll let you know when it ships.
