Best hybrid training apps (2026)

We make Siloh. Here's how we judged:

1. One plan, not two. Does the app schedule runs and lifts together so hard sessions don't collide?
2. Adapts. Does the plan change when you move or miss a session?
3. Fuel. Does the app help with what you eat around a heavier training week?
4. Price and platforms. What it costs and where it runs.
5. Honest fit. Who each app is genuinely better for, including when that isn't us.

Comparison table

1. Edge

Best for: hybrid athletes who want one app to balance running, lifting and conditioning.

Edge, from London-based Edge Hybrid Ltd, builds one adaptive plan for running, strength and HIIT, and spaces hard sessions so they don't compete for your legs.

• Pros: Run paces and heart-rate zones are set from your current fitness and update as you improve. Strength sessions come with target sets, reps and weights, progression and video demos. Flexi Swap lets you move a session and rebalances the rest of the week. Adapts to a full gym, dumbbells at home or running shoes only. Syncs with Strava, Garmin, COROS and Apple Health.
• Cons: No nutrition features in the app, so fueling a big training week is up to you. Its site lists prices in pounds only.
• Price: 7-day free trial, then £19.99 a month, £49.99 every three months or £119.99 a year.

2. Siloh

Best for: hybrid athletes who want the training and the food planned together.

Siloh is a nutrition and training app that plans your meals and your workouts as one system, so training days and rest days eat differently. Siloh Pro writes AI training programs for hybrid, running, lifting or MMA, matched to your goal, experience and equipment, then plans your meals around that program. For hybrid athletes, that means a long run or double-session day gets more fuel than a rest day without you working it out.

• Pros: The only app here where meal plans follow the training plan. The plan adapts after a skipped session, and the AI coach answers what to eat or how to train. The free app includes GPS run tracking, food logging, recipes, grocery lists, streaks and a weekly report. Syncs with Apple Health and Whoop.
• Cons: No Garmin sync yet (coming soon), which matters if you run with a Garmin watch. The programs and meal plans need Pro. iPhone only for now, with Android coming soon. It's a newer app (launched July 30, 2026), with less track record than Runna or TrainingPeaks.
• Price: Free. Siloh Pro has a 7-day free trial, then $19.99 a month or $149.99 a year.

3. Runna

Best for: runners training for a race who want strength work that fits around it.

• Pros: A full running coach with personalized strength, conditioning and mobility sessions that fit alongside your running plan, including bodyweight options without equipment. Syncs with Garmin, COROS, Fitbit, Suunto and Apple Watch, and uploads to Strava.
• Cons: Running comes first, so it suits a runner who lifts more than a lifter who runs. It offers nutrition advice but no meal planning or tracking, and Runna says it isn't designed as a weight loss app.
• Price: First week free, then $19.99 a month or $119.99 a year.

4. Ladder

Best for: strength-first athletes who want a coach-led team program with some conditioning or running.

Ladder is built for strength training, with programs run by named coaches as "teams." Its hybrid options include Versa and Project Alpha (hybrid strength for athletic performance) and Movewell, a beginner team that combines strength training and running.

• Pros: Coach-designed programs with in-ear coaching and video demos. Food logging is included in the subscription on iPhone, using typed or photo descriptions, barcode scanning and food search. No credit card needed to start the trial.
• Cons: No dedicated running program, so it's light on the run side of hybrid. No Android app. Nutrition is logging only; Ladder doesn't recommend meals.
• Price: 7-day free trial, then $29.99 a month or $179.99 a year.

5. TrainingPeaks

Best for: endurance athletes, especially those working with a coach, who also lift.

• Pros: Plan and analyze running, cycling and triathlon training, with Premium strength training tools and a library of video-guided movements. A marketplace of training plans from coaches. Web, iPhone and Android.
• Cons: Training plans and coaching are sold separately from Premium. It's endurance-first, so the lifting side is a supporting feature rather than the focus. Nutrition isn't part of the product on its site or App Store listing.
• Price: Free to sign up. Premium is $19.95 a month or $134.99 a year on the web, with a 14-day free trial. App Store pricing differs slightly.

How to choose

If you want the most complete hybrid training plan and you're happy to handle food yourself, choose Edge. If you want the program and the meals that fuel it in one place, choose Siloh Pro. If a race is the goal and lifting supports your running, choose Runna. If you're a lifter first, Ladder's coach-led teams are a good fit. If you work with an endurance coach, TrainingPeaks is built for that relationship, with Premium features for communicating with your coach.

Hybrid training swings a lot from day to day, which is why fuel matters more than it does for a single sport. Our guide on training-day vs rest-day eating explains how to scale carbohydrate to the day's work.
