Once created, you can manage, switch, or delete plans at any time from Manage Plan → View Recent Plans.

For runners training towards a specific race event. Go to Plan → Manage Plan → Start New Plan → Race 🏁, then search for your event or add it manually. The app automatically aligns your training with your race date.

Supported distances for race events go from 5k up to 50km. There are no race plans for distances over 50km. If your goal race is longer than 50km, the 50km Ultra plan is the closest available option and provides a strong training base for ultra distances.

For runners training towards a distance goal without a specific race. Go to Plan → Manage Plan → Start New Plan → Run a specific distance and choose your target. Supported distances for Distance Plans go from 5k up to 50km.

For runners looking to get a new 5k personal best or get faster at your weekly parkrun. Go to Plan → Manage Plan → Start New Plan → Choose 5k Improvement Plan or parkrun Improvement Plan.

Our plans are built to progress you safely, so we recommend these minimum lengths to see meaningful results:

Plans are capped to 26 weeks long. If your race is further away than that or your plan has a future start date see Which Plans Should I choose between Race Blocks?

All our plans are capped at 26 weeks long. If your race is further away than 26 weeks or your plan has a future start date see Which Plans Should I choose between Race Blocks? .

No, our plans are distance-based. Some workouts (e.g., intervals or long runs) may include time elements, but the overall structure is set by distance.

We don't offer dedicated trail-specific plans yet but you can adapt any distance-based plan to suit trail races or trail runs.

We don't offer dedicated mile plan yet. The best starting point is to run for a specific distance like 5k. Go to Plan → Manage Plan → Start New Plan → Run a Specific Distance → 5k.

You can also do our 5k Improvement Plan, which includes speed work that directly improves short-distance performance. Go to Plan → Manage Plan → Start New Plan → 5k Improvement Plan.

We don't offer dedicated sub-5k plans yet. If you want to train for short distances, we recommend a distance plan for 5k or 10k. They include speed-focused intervals suited to shorter races or distances.

Alternatively, you can add Instant Workouts at any time during your plan: Today tab → Scroll to Add Run.

We don't offer duathlon plans yet. To train for a duathlon, our closest options is one of our Triathlon Plans which focuses on the running discipline only (no swimming or cycling).

We don't offer ultra plans yet. For ultras, our closest option is to: select Run a specific distance → 50km.

At the moment, Runna doesn’t offer walk-only training plans. We do have plans that include walk-run options, designed to gradually build you up to running rather than fully walking.

There's no dedicated bleep test or shuttle test plan. To train for the beep or shuttle test, we recommend the Run Faster Plan, Hyrox Plan, or 5k Improvement Plan. These all include speed sessions (intervals and tempos) that directly transfer to the short, sharp efforts of a bleep test.

Most of our plans have a minimum length of 6 weeks. The exception is Run to Maintain, which can be as short as 3 weeks. It's ideal for staying active between race cycles or for a quick fitness top-up.

Yes. Go to Plan → Manage Plan → Start New Plan. You can set a future start date. The new plan overrides your current one, but all previous plans remain accessible under View Recent Plans.

Yes! Go to Plan → Manage Plan → PDF → Share.

Use the Run a specific distance option instead of searching for a race event. This lets you set a distance and end date without attaching a race title. Alternatively, rename your Race Plan via Plan → Manage Plan → ✏️ Pencil icon.
