FAQ
We’re here to help.
TRIQ is a dynamic triathlon app that schedules your training. It combines the latest knowledge of renowned sports scientists and coaches with an intelligent algorithm that adjusts 24/7 and within seconds to align endurance training with each athlete’s individual progress, recovery and availability.
TRIQ connects the dots between your training, your recovery, and your daily availability to train. The training aspect of TRIQ relies on your Garmin watch data. After your training sessions, your data automatically uploads to TRIQ.
The recovery aspect of the system is done via a daily check in. The Daily Check In uses your iPhone camera to measure HRV as well as collect heart rate data. Additionally, a series of subjective questions are asked. Upon completion of your quick morning check in, a readiness status is determined and if necessary, the training recommendations are adjusted accordingly.
Your availability to train is manually entered into a weekly availability schedule. This ensures that your training works with your busy life.
Using these three pillars as well as a set of features designed to better understand you, the systems provides training recommendations based on individual and real time readiness feedback, and optimizes your training to fit into your daily availability. Additionally, the system dynamically adjusts to stay in step with you as you move through your training journey.
Yes, certainly! We want you to be sure that we are the right partners to join you on your triathlon journey. TRIQ offers a one month free trial so that you can get a feel for how the system works.
And at any time, if you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via the customer support channel!
In order to access the app, you will need an iPhone (iOS 13 and iPhone version 6s or higher).
In order to create a user account, receive a training scheduel and for training data to automatically upload, you will need a Garmin sport watch and Connect account.
Optional additions:
- Heart Rate Monitor. Where available, TRIQ uses heart rate data from your training to better understand how your body meets and reacts to training demands. Additionally, where possible, HRV data is used during training to more accurately assess you aerobic and anaerobic thresholds.
- Power Meter: if available, TRIQ will use power output from cycling sessions to more accurately analyze the intensity of your bike specific training sessions.
This very much depends on your goal as well as your availability to train. There is no pre-set number of hours required to make use of the training recommendations. TRIQ will assess you availability, your goal, and your recent training in order to recommend individually optimized training.

Until now, you need an iPhone with an iOS version 13 or iPhone 6 and higher in order to use the TRIQ training app. But we are planning on an Android version as well, as soon as possible. But we want to guarantee the best training support for you, so we don’t want to rush into it.
If you have a Garmin tracking watch, you can use the new and smart TRIQ triathlon training app to approve your training and triathlon skills. Other wearable devices are not yet supported, but in the future we plan to make TRIQ available for more tracking watches. If you would like to be informed about any changes, you can subscribe to our newsletter.
We want to make sure that athletes get the best support possible. To achieve this goal, we use the knowledge of renowned sport scientists and coaches and combine it with a smart algorithm that is updated constantly. Only this way, we can make sure that you can customize your training to your triathlon goals appropriately. Unfortunately, this service cannot be provided for free. But if you want to test TRIQ before you buy it, we offer a one month trial period.

Building a Game-Changing Dynamic Triathlon Training App
When it comes to triathlon training apps or triathlon training plans, the intelligent solution of the future has to be dynamic, smart and fully individualized to each athlete. It’s a huge technological challenge that has remained unsolved for many years. With TRIQ, our team is finally empowering athletes to become their best in a way like no triathlon app has ever before. Our use of intelligent data and real-time adjusted training, makes TRIQ one of the best triathlon apps.
Dynamic Triathlon Training Plans
A triathlon training plan is often a static thing. While it’s good to have a plan, the complexity of three sports, human physiology, daily schedule challenges and shifting recovery cause any static plan to soon be suboptimal. Of course you can sit down for hours and ponder about the correct adjustments. But even after investing all that time a human will hardly be able to take into account all of the variables that the TRIQ algorithm can consider within an instant. Even online triathlon coaching and triathlon programs often suffer from the fact that time and the ability to focus on each athlete are often very limited. The TRIQ app is built to solve this issue and add an intelligence and efficiency to your training that was unthinkable before. It also monitors and considers your recovery. In addition, it detects your training automatically and adjust your next sessions even based on this if you suddenly decide to go running in the middle of the night. With our triathlon app training you get an individual training program that is tailored to you and your needs. No trainer can adapt your training plan as spontaneously as our intelligent triathlon app. Train for your next triathlon with what we believe is the best triathlon training app—and give yourself the chance to be perfectly prepared!

Triathlon Training Plans for Beginners, Intermediates and Pros
In the past there was a triathlon training plan for beginners, a different one for intermediates and then preparation for an IRONMAN® or pro triathlon training was thought to be another thing. With TRIQ the transition becomes seamless. With TRIQ you can put yourself into position to achieve all your training goals, and you won’t need an additional triathlon app. TRIQ checks whether your initial race goal is feasible in regards to the amount of training time you can afford to invest. From there it sets training based on the race distance you’re training for. Based on countless factors it adjusts tiny details on the way to make sure you stay healthy, on track and can become your best. With TRIQ as your triathlon training diary app you can view your daily successes and see how you are getting closer to your goal.

In the TRIQ app, World-class coach and sports scientist Dr. Daniel Plews adds valuable additional tips and info about the purpose of each workout to ensure that triathletes are fully informed about the steps they take on their journey and the things they achieve.

Triathlon types: Sprint Triathlon, Olympic Triathlon, 70.3 (Half) and Full Distance
Triathlon types can be a confusing topic for beginners and the fact that the most popular events are called IRONMAN® adds another layer of terminology. In order to learn about the transitions between the sports sprint distances are great before you move on to the more prestigious types.
Sprint Triathlon - Triathlon for Beginners
The sprint triathlon distance (750m/20km/5km) is great for early beginners and even if you know nothing you can start training almost immediately with TRIQ. Find out more about distances here.
Olympic Triathlon - The Standard Course
The official Olympic triathlon distance (1.5km/40km/10km)—also called ”short”—is great if you like Olympic medals and think 2-5 hours is how long an endurance race should be.
70.3 or Half Distance Triathlon
This is an IRONMAN® event distance (1.9km/90km/21.5km) and half of the full distance triathlon. To find out more check out our article about triathlon distances and our big triathlon summary.
Full Distance Triathlon (Often Called IRONMAN®)
The full triathlon distance is the ultimate challenge (3.8km/. Full distance triathlon training usually requires clearly more than 10 hours of training per week and the race can last 8 to 13+ hours.
Dynamic Training App - More Than Just a Fitness App

You will have access to simply knowing how to train regardless of what changes in your life or how you progress.
