Syncs with the kit you already train with.
As a lifter who wanted to start running distance but didn’t know where to start, Milo and the team helped set up the right program. The schedule works around me.
The workouts are clear, progressive and easy to follow, and I love having everything in one place. So much easier to stay consistent without burning out.
So well thought out. Takes into account running and any conditioning you want to do, all programmed around your own specific schedule.
Strength, conditioning and running all in one place, each session programmed to complement the next so fatigue never runs too high.
Compared to Runna I found the programmes much more tailored to my abilities, specific and easy to use.
I’d been struggling to find an app with a decent hybrid training plan until I found this one. Variety, and genuinely challenging workouts.
I’ve finally found a good balance between running and lifting. The app gives me a personalised plan to help me reach my goals.
Exactly what I’d been looking for. So easy to navigate, and it gets straight to the point. Can’t wait to keep improving my training.

Edge is built for people fitting strength, running and everyday fitness into their week. Whether you’re starting Couch to 5K, getting back into the gym, training for a half marathon or preparing for HYROX, Edge balances it all in one plan so your sessions work together instead of competing.
When you sign up we ask about your fitness level, goals, race plans, schedule, available kit and training preferences. That shapes your plan from day one, so it’s built around your real life rather than a generic template. Your plan is ready in the app within 24 hours and adapts as you progress.
Yes. With Flexi Swap you can move sessions around your week or swap out a missed day without breaking the structure of your plan. Missing a Monday doesn’t mean the whole week unravels.
Edge connects with Strava, Garmin, COROS and Apple Health, so your runs log themselves and your data stays in one place without manual entry.
No. Edge builds your plan around whatever you have: full gym access, a pair of dumbbells at home, or just a park and running shoes. You still get progressive training tailored to your setup.
Every plan starts with a free 7-day trial, so you can try your first week of training before you pay anything.
