How to Switch Between Plans

To switch between plans or go back to a previous plan, you can:

  1. Go to the Plan tab.

  2. Tap Manage Plan.

  3. Tap View Recent Plans.

  4. Tap the plan you'd like to reactivate.

FAQs

Can I restart my plan?

You can restart your plan by following these steps:

  1. Remove your current plan: Plan tab Manage Plan Scroll to the bottom Remove Plan (your plan will be moved to Recent Plans).

  2. Create a new plan: Once removed, go back to Manage Plan and tap Start New Plan to set up a fresh plan from scratch.

Note: this is a two-step process — there is no single "Restart" option in the app.

Will starting a new plan delete my current one?

No — your current plan gets archived, not deleted. You can return to it any time via Plan → Manage Plan → View Recent Plans and tap it to reactivate.

Will any plan change delete my completed run history?

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

Can I go back to a previous plan?

Yes, if you didn't delete your previous plan it should be in your Recent plans. To access it: Go to Plan tab Manage PlanView Recent Plans.

Can I change my race distance in my 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).

Can I remove speed sessions from my plan entirely?

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:

  • Skip the session

  • Log an Instant Workout instead: Today tab → Add Run → choose Easy Run (or another type you prefer). Instant Workouts don’t count toward your plan mileage yet, but we’re working on integrating them soon!

Can I add a race shorter than 5km or 3 miles to my plan?

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.

Can I view my Runna plan on desktop or the web?

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