Build a plan
A plan is for a running goal: road, trail, track, or mountain. You have one plan at a time. Your other goals before it become race weeks or check weeks inside it.
- Open Plan, then Training plan, and tap Build a plan with your coach. You can also ask your coach to build me a training plan, or open a goal and tap Build a training plan.
- Choose the goal the plan builds toward. It needs a date and a distance. A race only a few weeks away gets a short plan: its weeks hold your current volume, sharpen, and taper to race day.
- Build it with your coach, step by step. Your coach tells you what it sees in your training, what your goal needs, and the shape of the plan, and asks what it cannot read, such as the days you can train. It saves the plan when you agree.
- Read the weeks your coach shows you, change what does not fit your life, and agree the plan.
Read your plan
Open Plan, then Training plan. It shows the goal the plan builds to, the plan in short, the volume your goal needs, what limits you most, the phases, and every week with its focus, the coach’s note on it, its distance, and its long session. This week is marked, and past weeks show what you ran.
Your goals point to the plan. The goal the plan builds to shows Training plan, and a goal race inside the plan shows In your plan. Open the goal and tap Open plan to go to it.
Plans that ended, such as a plan a new plan replaced, are under Earlier plans on the same tab.
On the Calendar, the first day of each plan week has a Week focus card, also for the weeks after the next 14 days, so you can look ahead. Open it to read the coach note, the key sessions, and the checkpoint.
Checkpoints
About every 3 to 5 weeks, a key session is a checkpoint: a race, a test, or a long run with a result that says whether you are on track. The Training plan tab shows the mark before the session and the result after it: ahead, on track, behind, missed, or not enough data.
The next 14 days
Your coach keeps every day of the next 14 days written: a workout, a strength check-off, or a rest day. After each session, a change you make, or once a day, your coach looks at what you did and how you felt, writes the new days, and changes a coming day only for a reason it names on the workout.
A workout you create or edit yourself stays as you left it. A day you clear stays clear.
When you and your coach change a workout in a chat, your coach first tells you what the change means for the plan, and updates the week when you agree. When you change a workout on the Calendar yourself, your coach updates the week to match. When other days need a change too, your coach changes them and tells you.
When the weeks change
When a fact calls for different weeks, such as an injury, a missed week, a race result, or a checkpoint, your coach changes the weeks and tells you what changed and why. You get one notice: a push, or an email when your phone cannot show it. The Training plan tab shows the change at the top.
Tap Talk it through to ask your coach about it. Tap Undo to go back to the weeks before the change.
- Turn the notice off in Settings with Plan changes. The change still shows on the Training plan tab.
Stop or remove a plan
Open Plan, then Training plan, and choose Stop this plan, or ask your coach. Choose to keep or remove the coming days the plan wrote. Your goal stays, and the days you did or edited stay. A stopped plan moves to Earlier plans.
To remove a plan for good, choose Remove this plan, on your plan or on an earlier plan. An active plan stops first, and the coming days it wrote are removed. Your goals and the days you did stay.
Training plans are part of Pro and the free trial. When a trial ends, your plan stays on the Training plan tab and the Calendar, and your coach writes new days again when you have Pro.
