Managing Your Current, Upcoming, and Draft Plans

Your Plans brings all your training into one screen, so you can see what you're working on now, what's coming up, and anything you've saved to come back to later. Your schedule stays in your hands. Nothing changes unless you choose it. To access this, please update your Runna app to app v8.49.0.

Your plans sort themselves automatically, based on their dates and how far through them you are. You don't set these categories yourself. They update as your training moves forward.

To see an overview of all your plans, go to Plan tab and tap into Your Plans.

To view your plans:

This is where you’ll see all your plans: Current, Upcoming, Completed, Incomplete and Drafts.

You can add an Upcoming Plan whenever you already have an active current plan. To create one:

You’ll then be taken through the plan creation flow where you’ll pick a Runna plan and enter your details. When you reach the start date step, you'll see an option to review your calendar. Tap it and you'll see everything you already have scheduled including your current plan and any upcoming plans. It's a quick way to check you've got room before you lock anything in.

You can queue as many upcoming plans as you want so your training is seamlessly ready the moment each plan ends.

Note: if your plan includes B-races, scheduling an upcoming plan won't move them. They stay put.

To edit an Upcoming, Incomplete or Draft plan:

You’ll then be able to edit your Upcoming, Incomplete or Draft plan.

When the plan you're creating clashes with one that's already scheduled, Runna catches it before anything changes and lets you choose what happens:

Either way, the conflict screen shows you what will happen to any affected plans before you confirm. This check runs whenever you switch your current plan, add an upcoming plan, or create a new one.

If you created a plan and found it waiting in your drafts, here's what happened. The new plan overlapped with one you already had scheduled, so rather than let it push your existing training off the calendar, Runna kept it safely in drafts instead. Nothing was deleted, and your current plan kept running as normal.

This is the default whenever there's a clash, because a lot of people build a plan just to see how it looks before they commit. Your new plan is sitting in the Drafts section ready whenever you want it.

If you actually wanted the new plan to take over, you can always activate the Draft plan via Plan tab → Your Plans → Drafts.

You can switch your current plan to an upcoming plan, an incomplete plan or a draft plan at any time. To switch:

Your current plan will then be replaced by the plan you selected. All your previous and completed plans remain accessible, switching plans or starting a new one won't delete any of them.

Once you switch plans, it will sync back to any compatible apps and watches, keeping your workouts and data up to date.

To make a draft plan your active plan:

If it conflicts with another Plan in your Calendar, you will be notified and you can choose to Update your Training Calendar to activate it.

To manage your plans:

The options change depending on the plan. A completed plan, for example, won't show the option to add it to your training calendar.

You'll also see a Preview option. This shows a condensed view of a plan, its week cards and a summary, so you can see what it involves without switching to it.

To delete or remove a plan:

Removed plans won't be deleted, they will simple move to your Drafts (Go to Plan → Tap Your Plan → Tap Drafts).

Yes! Go to Plan → Your Plans → Select the Incomplete plan → Tap Mark incomplete plan as complete.

Yes, go to Plan → Your Plans → Select the Upcoming plan you want to remove → Tap Move to Drafts.

If you want to delete the Upcoming Plan as well, you can do so once it’s in your Drafts by going to Plan → Your Plans → Select the Draft Plan → Tap Delete.

You're notified and asked to choose between the new plan, your current plan, and any upcoming plans already queued.

No — your current plan gets moved to Incomplete plans. You can return to it any time via Plan → Your Plans → Tap relevant plan → Tap switch to current plan.

No, your completed run history is always preserved, regardless of any changes you make to your plan.

You can restart your plan simply by creating a new plan with the same inputs via Plan → Your Plans → Create New Plan. If it overlaps with your current plan, you’ll be asked to choose between the new plan, your current plan, and any upcoming plans already queued. Note: there is no single "Restart" option in the app.

Yes, if you didn't delete your previous plan it should be in your Incomplete plans. To access it: Go to Plan tab → Your Plan. You can then tap into the relevant Plan and select Switch to current plan.

No, race distance can't be changed once a plan has been created. If you need to train for a different distance, start a new plan via Plan → Manage Plan → Start New Plan.

Alternatively, you can also log a race as an Instant Workout (Race), though this won't update your training plan or count toward your plan mileage (but we’re working on integrating them soon).

Speed sessions can't be completely removed from your plan, every plan includes at least 1 speed session every other week at the lowest difficulty. If you'd prefer not to do them, you can:

No, the minimum supported race distance is 5km (or 3 miles). Races shorter than this cannot be added to your plan as a B-race or via your training calendar. If you're doing a shorter event, the best option is to log it as a Manual Activity in the Activities tab once completed.

Not currently, training plans are only available in the Runna mobile app. Web access is on our roadmap.

Yes! That’s exactly what Drafts are for. To see available plans and how they would look:

You can then browse Runna plans without committing. You can create as many Drafts as you want.
