At Runna, we’re always rolling out new features to make your training plans more adaptable and customizable. Sometimes these updates can affect your current plan, which isn’t always ideal.

With Plan Versions, you can choose when to update your plan and accept changes - and if you don’t like the update, you can easily revert back to the original version. This way, you stay in control, and your plan only changes when you’re ready.


Accessing Plan Versions

  1. Open the Runna App and go to the Plan tab.

  2. Select Manage Plan.

  3. Just below the name of your plan, you’ll see a status pill showing one of two options:

    • Plan Up To Date: You’re on the newest version of your plan.

    • New Plan Version Available: A newer version of your plan is ready to update.

If the ‘Plan Versions’ pill isn’t available under ‘Manage Plan’ you may need to update your app.


Updating Your Plan Version

  1. Tap the New Plan Version Available pill.

  2. On the next screen, you’ll see:

    • Your current Plan Version

    • The new Plan Version available

    • A summary of what the update includes

  3. To update your plan, tap Update.

Your plan will then be updated, and any new features released since you first created your plan will now be available.

Updating your Plan Version may cause changes to your upcoming training.


Reverting to a Previous Plan Version

  1. On the Manage Plan page, under your plan name, tap Plan Up To Date.

  2. Select Revert to Previous Version.

Important: Plan Versions only allows you to revert to a previous version after updating your plan using the steps above. It does not allow you to revert your plan after you'd made any manual changes (e.g., updating your estimated 5K time).


FAQs

What if I don’t see ‘Plan Up To Date’ or ‘New Plan Version Available’ under ‘Manage Plan’?

You may not see your Plan Version pill for one of the following reasons:

  • App Version: Make sure you’re using version 8.15.0 or later

  • Plan Type: Plan Versions is only available for race plans and distance-based goal plans (e.g., 10K improvement plans, marathons).

I don’t like the new version of my plan. Can I revert it back?

Yes! You can revert your plan to the previous version if you’re unhappy with the update. See above for instructions.

What features will updating my Plan Version unlock?

This depends on when you created your plan. Previous examples include Holiday Mode and Training Preferences!

Can I revert my plan after updating other plan details under ‘Manage Plan’?

No. Plan Versions only enables you to revert your plan having updated it via ‘New Plan Version Available’. It does not revert any manual changes you make to your running ability, elevation profile or other inputs under Manage Plan.

If you want to revert changes to those fields, you’ll need to manually update them back to their previous values. For example, if you changed your Running Ability from Intermediate to Advanced, you can change it back to Intermediate.
