Update: The Breakaway was acquired by Strava in May of 2025. Since then, we have worked with Strava to bring some of our features into your Strava premium experience, and we have more coming soon! *As of today, we are no longer taking new subscribers.* In the meantime, we will keep The Breakaway running for much of 2026, fulfilling the promise to our current subscribers. If you have a current annual or six-month subscription, we will ensure your service through the end of your current cycle. At some point in late 2026, we will notify you that The Breakaway will be winding down. Until then, you’ll find us on the road, trail and indoor trainer, and increasingly, you’ll find us on Strava. You can read more about the acquisition here: https://press.strava.com/articles/strava-announces-acquisition-of-cycling-training-app-the-breakaway Thank you for being part of this amazing journey with us. Let’s ride! -Jordan, Kyle, Christian, Mira, Jan, Pavel and Jesse.

Simple intuitive training app and more
04/14/2023

I’ve been using this app for 6 months. The UI is simple and motivating. It has helped eliminate my tendency to overthink and over train. I really like the visual tracking of my power profile and I find it a motivator to push all my energy systems on a regular basis. I was able to break through a big plateau and add 25 watts to my ftp in 3 months using the guidance of the app alone. The support that comes with the app is unbeatable. So much value between the free webinars, coached training blocks etc. I really enjoy the Facebook group - a real supportive community of users in there to offer friendly advice, and love that Christian Vande Velde chimes in with encouragement our discussions. I have since added Zwift and TrainerRoad to my tool chest, but Breakaway will remain my Homebase for tracking all my activity and monitoring my workload. I find it to be better at capturing my activity and the best “dashboard” for everything. Exhibit A - my power meter died today 10mins into a 100km ride. TrainerRoad logged the activity as 60kj, but Breakaway automatically logged 2,200kj - a very accurate estimate from my heart rate data, and inline with what I would typically log on an endurance ride of that duration. Very satisfied and can’t wait to see what they do next- it keeps improving with more features. Hope this review helps. Ride safe!

Tons of potential, great value!

I have been a fan of Christian Vande Velde for some time. I learned of this app from chatting with him at Hincapie Gran Fondo in Lehigh Valley. I use both Peloton and Zwift. I also ride outdoors. This app can aggregate data across all platforms I use. The way the data is presented makes it intuitive and easy to set and pursue goals and achieve PRs. One of the things I like is that “all time PRs” are secondary to “8 week.” For a middle aged dad like me who wants to stay in shape, it’s much easier to look at my fitness by asking “am I doing better today than I did two months ago?” as opposed to “Am I faster in my 40s than I was in my 20s?” The greatest value though comes with monthly training programs curated by Christian Vande Velde and Mari Holden. Both are very much involved and openly communicate with the members. The monthly webinar at the start of each program is extremely motivating and useful. The app has a ton of potential to grow into a general coaching/fitness app covering multiple modalities in the future.

I’m enjoying having a real plan that targets improving power and speed. Not only reading thru the workout sets but the option to listen to Ashton and Christian’s explanations has helped me make the correlation between lifting weights with specific sets for strength and now specific power and time within sets cycling. It’s a science that’s complicated but this app has taken the complexity and simplified it so results are guarantee and can be measured. It’s all starting to make sense and I’m experiencing new PRs and increases in wattage consistently, and I’m only a handful of workouts in. I’m excited to have this app with real coaching around the clock. Also, the charted graphs help to emphasise and provide a visual to “see” the work that will be performed for the workout. Seeing time on and time to rest during sets just clicks for me. I’m super excited to know I’m getting stronger and faster with every single workout!

Pro or beginner; this App holds a mirror to you, maps out where you are, how far you have come, and throws you curveballs if you are willing to go all the way. It’s Power driven and communicates to all cool cycling platform and gadgets out there (Peloton, Zwift, Garmin, Wahoo). Simple, user friendly, and provides valuable KPI. One of the best capability of this App vs everything else out there, is that without expensive coaching on your side, it takes your data and shows your skill levels in Sprint, Attack, and Climb with respect to your age and sex. Above all, what got me most attracted to this tool, was the level of professionalism, etiquette, and care of the developers of this App. Like others, I experienced some early glitches in synchronization but when I reached out, they were there, communicated transparently and mitigated the issue. This is a rare quality in todays Tech world and must be treasured when we see honest work by people who care most about the user experience and the service they are providing. Thank You!Tia
