Here at Runna, we’re deeply passionate about our mission of helping to improve people’s lives through running, and making running training effective, enjoyable and easy for everyone. We’re equally passionate about investing in our product and training plans to best support the needs of our community - particularly our growing new runners or those returning to running following a break.
That’s why earlier this year we relaunched our New to Running and Return to Running plans from the ground up. These coach-designed, personalised and adaptable plans were specifically created to help people start running for the first time, or confidently return to running after time away.
These plans include a completely rebuilt coaching logic that offers more flexibility and personalisation to each user’s fitness level. As well as that, we also heavily invested into developing new product functionality introduced alongside the plans and developed for runners at the beginning of their journey, such as Not Feeling 100% and Workout Briefings.
And we are continuing to invest in our product development for the long-term. Looking ahead, we’re excited to reveal that we’ll be introducing a new record-on-device experience that’s bespoke for both the New to Running and Return to Running plans, as well as new audio cues.
We’re proud of the significant investments we’re making to help runners of all levels enjoy the sport of running that we all love here at Runna. To support this continued level of investment, we will be making the New to Running and Return to Running plans a part of the Runna subscription from June 5th, 2026.
Despite this change, these plans will come at no extra cost to the existing monthly or annual subscription plans. Anyone currently using a New to Running or Returning to Running plan will be able to complete their training cycle. As with all other Runna plans, a 1-week free trial is also available, as is a 2-week free trial with a referral code.
Our aim is to help more people find their love of running, to experience the love for running that we feel.
We want to be a running partner to people of all levels around the world for life, and we can’t wait to see more people achieve their running goals, whatever they may be.
The Runna Team.
