Trail Running

Trail running analytics and session tracking for athletes and coaches.

Log runs with elevation data, track effort-based zones, and monitor training load over time — wherever the trail takes you.

01

Effort-based training on variable terrain

Trail running is defined as much by elevation and terrain as by distance. A 20 km run with 1,500 m of climbing places a very different demand on the body than flat road running — and pacing by heart rate, rather than speed, is often the only practical approach on technical ground.

How Segra helps trail runners

  • Sync runs from Strava with full elevation and heart rate data
  • Review zone distribution to balance hard mountain days with genuine recovery
  • Plan weekly and seasonal training with the built-in training planner
  • Monitor readiness and wellness between demanding trail sessions
  • Share your training log with a coach who can review load and plan key sessions

03

Metrics that matter on the trail

  • Heart rate zones — the most reliable proxy for effort on changing terrain
  • Elevation gain — a critical factor for understanding true session load
  • Moving time and duration — track weekly volume beyond distance alone
  • Average and max heart rate — gauge intensity and monitor fatigue over time

04

Automatic sync from Strava

Connect Strava once and every trail run is automatically imported into Segra with full elevation and heart rate data — no manual uploads needed.
