Runna is one of the best running apps you can get, and it now sells plans for sprint to full-distance triathlons. Read its help centre, though, and those plans cover the running only. Triku plans the swim and the bike as well. Here is the rest of the comparison, prices included.

Runna or Triku
If you only have a minute, this is how we’d decide. We make Triku, so weigh our view accordingly. We’ve tried to be fair to Runna, which is a very good app.
What it costs
Runna has one paid tier, Runna Premium, billed monthly or yearly. Triku’s price isn’t public yet, and we’ll put it on this page before launch.

The difference
Runna is built for running. Triku is built for all three sports of a triathlon, and for the weeks that don’t go to plan.
Swim, bike and run are planned as one week, not three schedules fighting over the same evenings. A brick in Triku includes the ride, not only the run after it.
If front crawl is new, your swim block can start with breathing and body position, with illustrated drills. Later a swim test sets your paces, and a map shows open-water spots with safety reminders.
Busy Wednesday, a cold, a work trip: tell Coach by text or voice memo. You see what would move and why, nothing changes until you accept, and you can undo it.
Race-week kit lists, pacing, taper and transitions. Food logging by photo, voice or text. Quieter running and cycling loops, with GPX export.
Runna doesn’t schedule swim sessions. You can log a swim by hand, and it doesn’t count toward your plan.
No Runna plan includes bike sessions, its triathlon plans included.
Runna’s triathlon plans add short runs off the bike, but the ride before them isn’t planned.
Runna has no food log. Triku logs your meals by photo, voice or text.
Three situations
Three situations, and what we’d tell a friend in each.
Your spring goal is a half marathon. A triathlon is a “maybe, one day”.
Runna
You’ve entered your first sprint triathlon and can’t swim 400 metres of front crawl yet.
Triku
You’re training for a half-distance triathlon and record everything on a Garmin. Turn on Apple Health or Health Connect sharing in Garmin Connect and your sessions reach Triku.

Questions
For the running, yes. Runna has sprint, Olympic, half and full-distance triathlon plans, but its help centre says they don’t include swimming or cycling sessions. You’d plan the swim and the bike yourself, or in another app.
Yes, through your phone. Turn on Apple Health (iPhone) or Health Connect (Android) in Garmin Connect, and the workouts you record reach Triku. Triku can’t send workouts to a Garmin yet; a direct Garmin Connect integration is planned.
We haven’t announced Triku’s price yet. It will be on this page and in the app stores before launch. Runna costs €19.99 a month or €119.99 a year in Belgium.
You can, but let one of them plan your running. Two plans means two long runs and two interval sessions in the same week, which is more than either plan intends.
We checked every Runna price and feature on Runna’s website, help centre and store listings on 24 September 2026. Prices are as listed for Belgium unless we say otherwise. Spotted something out of date? Email privacy@triku.app and we’ll fix it.
