See what our Athletes are saying about Cirque Running
“I’d trained for races on my own before, but race day always seemed to expose the gaps. With a customized Cirque Running plan, it was a completely different story. I trusted the process—even when I worried I wasn’t running enough—and it paid off. I finished my first ultra with energy to spare and recovered faster than expected. Ryan and Cirque Running set me up for real success. Highly recommend.”

“I did it! I crossed the finish line of the 2025 Mammoth Trailfest 50k faster than I expected, with plenty of energy left in the tank. This achievement is almost entirely due to working with Cirque Running.
Partnering with Cirque Running was a game-changer in preparing for my first 50k trail race. Having only run a handful of half-marathons previously, training for an ultramarathon felt daunting. Cirque crafted a personalized training plan tailored to my fitness level and flexible enough to fit my busy schedule. Having a structured plan gave me a significant confidence boost, knowing there was a clear path to being race-day ready.
In addition to the training plan, Cirque’s software and charts were invaluable for tracking my progress and projecting my fitness level as race day approached. The feedback provided after each training run was critical, allowing me to make necessary adjustments along the way.
The unexpected benefits of training with Cirque was the motivation and accountability I gained throughout the process, something I wouldn’t have experienced training on my own. For that, I am deeply grateful.”
