Wave 0 · Live-Fire

Your Alpha briefing

Start with 6 focused checks. Run what you can, tell us what broke, and help us shape how a running app feels on a real Tuesday.

These are your first cards, not the whole program — there is a longer syllabus waiting in the app once you are through them.

Before you start

  • Install from the invite email (TestFlight or Play Internal).
  • Sign in with the same email we used for your invite.
  • Alpha is early — bugs happen. You're never required to run in unsafe conditions.
  • Trevak provides estimates and trends for training and gear — not medical advice.
01

First mission on the board

Get comfortable starting and finishing a real run in Trevak.

  1. Install Trevak and sign in with the same email we invited.
  2. Start a short outdoor mission (even 10–15 minutes is fine).
  3. Finish and confirm the run shows up in your mission log.
  4. Note anything confusing in the in-app feedback tool.

Done when: At least one completed mission appears in the athlete's mission log.

02

The Dead Zone

Prove offline-first: data should buffer and sync when you're back online.

  1. Start a mission with normal connectivity.
  2. Turn off cellular/Wi-Fi mid-run for a few minutes.
  3. Keep moving, then finish the mission.
  4. Turn connectivity back on and confirm the run syncs without missing chunks.

Done when: Mission completes and syncs after offline period with no obvious data loss.

03

The Red Light

Standing still should not invent phantom distance.

  1. Run about a mile (or a solid warm-up).
  2. Stop completely at a light or curb for ~2–3 minutes.
  3. Watch pace/distance while still — note any drift.
  4. Finish the mission and tell us what you saw.

Done when: Tester reports whether distance/pace stayed stable while stationary.

04

Ghost Protocol

Start/stop near home and check that shared maps trim the sensitive edges.

  1. Start a mission near your usual home start (safe, familiar route).
  2. Run a short loop and finish back near the same area.
  3. Open any shared/HQ map preview of that run.
  4. Confirm the first and last stretch near home looks trimmed (~400m privacy zone) — not a precise doorstep trail.

Done when: Shared/map preview does not expose a precise home start/end breadcrumb.

05

Shoe wear check

Confirm your shoe's estimated foam life moves after a real effort.

  1. Set or confirm an active shoe in your shoe list.
  2. Complete a run with that shoe selected.
  3. Check the estimated foam life on that pair afterward.
  4. Tell us if the change felt sensible for the effort you did.

Done when: Shoe wear estimate updates after a completed mission with that shoe.

06

Honest notes

Send us clear feedback — what felt great, what broke, what you'd change.

  1. Use the in-app Alpha feedback tool (or email alpha@trevakrunning.com).
  2. Include device + OS if something glitched.
  3. Call out anything that would make you stick around as a paying runner.
  4. Keep it candid — Wave 0 is tiny so we can actually listen.

Done when: At least one written feedback note received from the tester.

What comes after these

Once the checks above are behind you, the app opens up a longer syllabus: about 50 missions over roughly 10 weeks, released a week at a time. Your list is picked to match the hardware you actually own, so it will not be identical to another tester’s.

Which list you get

  • Phone only

    You are testing on a phone and nothing else.

  • Wear OS

    You have an Android watch to test alongside the phone.

  • Apple Watch

    You have an Apple Watch to test alongside the phone.

  • Dual-track

    You are testing a watch and a phone against each other.

A few extra cards appear if you have a Bluetooth heart-rate strap or footpod to test.

Vanguard badge

Verified missions earn rings along the way — at 10, 25, 40, and 50. You can see your progress any time in the app’s mission deck.
