How it works
Four quick steps to your guide.
- 1
Pick
Choose hiking, climbing, cycling or running, and the kind: a day hike, an alpine peak, a road ride, a fun run.
- 2
Where
Type any place, tap Near me, or pick a famous one, from Kosciuszko to Kilimanjaro to your local trail.
- 3
When
Add a date if you have one, and how fit you feel. No date? You still get a general plan to start on.
- 4
Your guide
Training week by week (tap Watch on any session for a short how-to video), what to eat before and on the day, what to do, what to avoid, what to pack, and safety.
Safety first
These safety notes are decided by Burnly’s rules and always show in your guide.
- Altitude: signs of altitude sickness above 2,500 m, extra acclimatisation days above 4,000 m, and a licensed guide above 5,000 m or for technical climbs.
- Your health: a gentle plan and a doctor first for health conditions or pregnancy, and adjustments for injuries or being under 18.
- Enough time: if your date doesn't leave enough weeks to train, Burnly says so and suggests a shorter goal or a later date, rather than cramming.
- The basics: tell someone your route and return time, check the weather, carry water and layers, wear a helmet on a bike, build up running distance slowly, and know the emergency number for where you'll be.
A guide only, not medical advice. See our health disclaimer.
Example guides
Two shortened examples so you can see what a guide looks like. Your own guide is made for your place, your date and your details.
Kosciuszko day hike, 6 weeks
ExampleTraining
- Weeks 1–2: two short walks and one longer walk to build a base
- Weeks 3–4: add hills and a weighted daypack
- Weeks 5–6: one long practice hike, then taper off before the day
Eat
- The week before: a bit more carbs on your longer training days
- The night before: a carb-rich dinner, and pack water and snacks
- On the day: small regular snacks rather than one big meal
First 5 km fun run, 4 weeks
ExampleTraining
- Week 1: run-walk intervals, three times a week
- Weeks 2–3: longer running blocks, shorter walk breaks
- Week 4: one easy short run, then rest before race day
Eat
- Through the plan: regular meals, a bit more carbs on run days
- The night before: a familiar carb-rich meal, nothing new
- Race morning: a light, familiar breakfast and water
