Training Tailored to You

Upward Running has a long history of training individuals and groups to successfully run races, from 5Ks and 10Ks to Half Marathons and full Marathons. Since 2010, we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of people reach their goals—no matter how big. Today, we offer training plans that cater to virtually everyone, meeting you exactly where you are in your journey. When you log in for the first time, you’ll be guided through a series of questions that will help our team determine your goals and create a custom training plan tailored just for you. Whether you’re training for your very first 5K or aiming for a Boston Qualifier marathon, we’ve got you covered. You can think of this part of the app as being similar to other popular platforms like Strava, Garmin, TrainingPeaks, or Runna—great apps we admire and feel we are on par with.

In the end, the secret to training is all about finding a plan that works for you and sticking with it. There are many plans like Hal Higdon, Runners World, or even Jeff Galloway that are great, but at Upward Running, we focus on the whole person.

Practical Education at Every Step

One thing that’s hard to find in the running community is high-quality, practical education. Many people start running by simply dusting off their old “yard shoes” and heading out for a few miles, only to realize the next day—through pain, soreness, or even injury—that diving in without preparation wasn’t the best idea. The Upward Running RunClub App is different. It offers a wealth of educational content, tailored to your experience level, and delivered weekly. During the initial Q&A, we’ll assess your knowledge and ensure that the right educational resources are provided at the right time—whether you’re a beginner entering the sport or a seasoned runner with big goals in mind. We believe that the right education at the right stage of your journey will make your running (or walking) experience safer and more enjoyable.

Growth Beyond the Run

At Upward Running, we know that discipline in one area of life often translates to discipline in others. For example, we’ve heard stories from couples who trained for a 5K together and, in the process, saw their marriages restored. We’ve also heard about individuals who not only lost 50 pounds but paid off debt during their fitness journey. Discipline breeds more discipline. As you progress through your own fitness goals, you’ll be inspired and motivated by the stories we share each week. These stories will encourage you to take inventory of what’s most important in your life. At Upward Running, we focus on fostering growth in the body, mind, and spirit.

A Community Like No Other

One of the most valuable aspects of Upward Running is our incredible community. In fact, many members say it’s worth the price of entry all on its own. When you join, you’ll connect with people from all over the country—many of whom we’ve known for over a decade. Upward Running isn’t just for elite athletes (though we have plenty of those), nor is it only for beginners (though we have those too). It’s for anyone who shares a passion for endurance, a love for Jesus, and a desire to support others on their journey. The app includes social platforms where you can get to know the others going through this same journey. You can also join breakout groups that cater to specific interests, allowing for deeper connections. No matter what, you’ll always feel welcomed and supported
