Training and fueling strategy

Plan your race. Every week matters.

Build a trail-specific programme with long runs, elevation and strength work, then test your fueling strategy before race day.

Trail, ultra-trail and multi-day journeys

Every distance needs its own preparation.

Trailboard turns a route into useful decisions: where the effort matters, how to progress towards the start, when you may pass and what to carry.

01

Why Trailboard?

Because a route alone does not prepare an adventure.

As distance changes, so do the questions. Trailboard connects terrain, training, passage times, nutrition and race kit to help you build a readable plan, without pretending to remove the uncertainty of the mountains.

01 / 03

Trail 40–100 km

Turn the route into decisions.

As the distance grows, one underestimated climb or misplaced aid stop can change the day. Trailboard gives you a concrete view of the course before you get there.

This sounds like you if…

  • You have the official route but no clear strategy yet.
  • You want to identify the decisive climbs, descents and aid stations.
  • You need useful passage times for yourself or your support crew.

Trailboard helps you…

  • View the route and elevation profile in one place.
  • Place confirmed markers directly on the course.
  • Build a roadbook with timings, sections and needs.

Ultra 100–200 km

Train for duration, not only distance.

Preparing for an ultra requires continuity: start from your current volume, progress, get stronger, repeat effort over two days and reduce load before the race. Trailboard builds that thread around your target event.

This sounds like you if…

  • Your race is far enough away to build week by week.
  • You want running, strength and complementary sports in one plan.
  • You need to see how each training week leads to the target.

Trailboard helps you…

  • Generate a calendar around the race date and distance.
  • Set frequency, volume, progression, strength, cycling and swimming.
  • Schedule a two-day simulation, followed by a taper before the start.

The ultra-trail programme

A plan built around your race, then adapted to real life.

Set your weekly rhythm, starting volume and desired progression. Trailboard organises the weeks through to race day without freezing or erasing what you have already completed.

  1. 01

    Choose the number of running and strength sessions per week.

  2. 02

    Start from a realistic volume in kilometres or hours, with adjustable progression.

  3. 03

    Add cycling and swimming when useful, each with its own frequency and progression.

  4. 04

    Get long runs and rotating strength work: lower body, proprioception, core, plyometrics and mobility.

  5. 05

    Schedule a two-day simulation based on the race characteristics, followed by a progressive taper.

  6. 06

    Regenerate the future plan without removing completed sessions or sessions linked to an activity.

Paces and durations are reference points calculated from the available data. The plan remains editable and should be adjusted to your experience, recovery, constraints and any unusual pain.

Multi-day journey

Prepare what you can. Leave room for the unexpected.

Over several days, success depends as much on the route as on water, stages and what you carry. Trailboard brings those choices into a roadbook you can review in the field.

This sounds like you if…

  • You are following a long route, sometimes far from services.
  • You need to divide the journey into realistic stages.
  • You want to share an understandable plan with your loved ones.

Trailboard helps you…

  • Break the route into sections and passage points.
  • Prepare water, nutrition, kit and fallback options.
  • Export a readable roadbook before leaving.

One cockpit

The scale changes. The need for clarity does not.

Whatever your profile, Trailboard keeps the information attached to the same event instead of scattering it across a map, spreadsheet, calendar and notes.

01

The route remains the common source for reading elevation, placing markers and building a strategy.

02

Training, nutrition and equipment are prepared around a concrete goal, not in isolation.

03

You stay in control: estimates are explicit, items remain editable and Strava is optional.

Prepare what can be prepared, so there is more room for adventure.

Plan the race. Live the adventure.

Turn the official route into a clear roadbook before the start and a practical reference for race day.

  • Load the official route and read the elevation profile.
  • Place markers, aid stations and passage times.
  • Keep the full strategy connected to the route.

On race day, every detail should already have its place.

The route, passage times, aid stations and what you carry all belong to the same race. Trailboard connects them so you can see the key moments before you reach the trail.

From a raw route to a race sheet in three steps.

Trailboard starts from the real route, then helps you turn that trace into a strategy you can use to run, hike, fuel and decide.

  1. 01

    Import the route

    Add the organizer’s route file or your own track to view the map, elevation profile and important sections.

  2. 02

    Build your strategy

    Place markers, aid stations, water points and passage targets, then add the fuel you have already tested in training.

  3. 03

    Leave with a clear dossier

    Export a race sheet that combines kilometers, elevation, timing, aid stations and fueling.

Plan what you tolerate, not a theoretical menu.

Connect estimated duration, aid stations and products already tested on long runs. Trailboard helps organize the strategy without turning an estimate into absolute truth.

Keep a fallback option if an aid station is missed or sweet foods stop working.

Understand the profiles and scientific references

Decide before the start. Stay present on the trail.

Centralize decisions

No more switching between map, spreadsheet, notes, screenshots and fueling calculations.

Anticipate key moments

Long climbs, spaced-out aid stations, cutoffs and autonomy constraints stay visible.

Keep a field-ready plan

The result is clear enough to review the night before, print or send to your support crew.

Your progress keeps a clear thread.

Dashboard, goals, trends and activity memories extend the preparation without distracting from Trailboard’s main role: planning the next adventure.

Keep the adventure, not only the numbers.

Photos, feelings, the route and activity data stay together in your private space so you can revisit what you actually experienced.

Your sports data stays yours.

Trailboard helps you prepare your own space. Synced data does not become a public ranking or a display for other athletes.

  • Strava is optional for preparing a route.
  • Your activities remain visible only in your own space.
  • Friend challenges stay manual and declarative.
  • You can delete your account and its data.
Portrait of the creator of Trailboard

Built by a trail runner preparing real races.

Trailboard came from a simple need: stop preparing long distances with scattered information. The product stays close to terrain, aid stations, timing and race-day decisions.

What to know before loading your route.

Is Trailboard free to start?

Yes, you can start for free and test route planning. Any limits or paid offers are explained on the pricing page.

Do I have to connect Strava?

No. Strava is optional. It mainly supports the personal dashboard and activity tracking, not route preparation.

Which route file can I use?

You can use the official track supplied by the organizer. It is often a GPX file, a format that stores the itinerary so Trailboard can show the map, elevation profile and your markers.

Is Trailboard only for races?

No. The main audience is trail and ultra, but the same approach also helps prepare fastpacking, expeditions and long outdoor adventures.

Can I prepare aid and fueling?

Yes. Trailboard helps organize planned intake around the route and estimated time. The strategy is informational and should be tested in training.

Read the detailed nutrition guide
Can I print my plan?

Yes. Key information can be exported into a clear dossier with kilometers, elevation, passage times, aid stations and fueling.
