When you build your plan with Runna, your workouts are automatically arranged in the week based on what our coaches recommend for your schedule.
In order to make adjustments to your Runna plan, first tap on 'Manage Plan' on the 'Train' tab. From here you'll be able to make changes to every aspect of your plan, from your running ability to your schedule. You can also rearrange workouts in an individual week by heading to Edit Week.
To further personalize your schedule, you can adjust the week's start day by following these steps: Navigate to the Plan tab, select Manage Plan, and choose your desired week start day from the available options. This ensures your training aligns perfectly with your routine.
How to Choose a Number of Runs per Week
We recommend choosing either the number of times you currently run per week or one more. It is important to increase your weekly mileage gradually to reduce the risk of injury, rather than going from 0 to 100.
Some training plans in Runna have unique customization options. For instance, older plans like the Return to Running Plan default to Monday start days, while distance-based plans allow choosing any day of the week, including Sunday. Navigate to Plan > Manage Plan, select your desired start day, and confirm for plans that permit this flexibility.
You can also modify the timeline for fixed-length plans by adjusting the end date or using the calendar view to realign workouts with your desired schedule. For comprehensive changes, start a new plan if alignment issues persist.
Which Day is Best for My Long Run?
Simply choose the day that suits your schedule the best! We will automatically adjust the rest of your workouts to fit around your long run and other schedules.
To assign a specific long run day, go to Plan > Manage Plan and select the Available Days option where you can set your preferred day (e.g., Sunday) for long runs, making them fit seamlessly with your schedule.
How Should I Choose my Available Days?
When letting us know which days of the week you're available to run on, select every day available to you so that our engine can choose the most optimal days for you to run on. We'll try to keep your running schedule consistent but adjust it as needed for special weeks such as deload weeks and during taper periods ahead of races.
Which Race Day Should I Choose?
If your race is not on either of these days, please select Saturday and get in touch with us so we can advise on how to adjust your final weeks of training.
How can I Rearrange Workouts Within my Week?
If you can't follow your running schedule exactly in a particular week, you can easily rearrange workouts in a week by heading to Edit Week and dragging on workouts to rearrange them. We recommend spacing out your workouts where possible to give your body maximum time to recover between each workout.
Additionally, you can use the calendar view to manually drag and rearrange workouts for more precision. If further adjustments are needed, contact Runna support for personalized assistance.
