Personal Records
Your personal records and best efforts (from a workout) are calculated from the total duration of your completed workout. The total duration of a workout differs from your total moving time, as the former includes any pauses or rest periods.
Currently, we only save personal records for outdoor activities. This is due to the relative difference in effort between indoor/treadmill workouts and outdoor workouts. You'll still be able to see your best efforts after every treadmill workout, though!
Estimated Race Times
Estimated times are based on what we predict you can currently achieve based on the information you have provided. They will update automatically as your progress through your plan!
Editing Personal Records in the Runna App
Your personal records will automatically update when you add outdoor runs to Runna.
Personal records are attached to completed workouts, so you can’t edit a current personal record. However, you can add a personal record manually - for example, if you want to log a PB from before you joined Runna.
In the Runna app, go to the Activities tab and select Performance
Select the Personal Record you’d like to update
Tap Add New Personal Record
Enter your new time
Tap Save
Note: We may adjust your estimated times based on the new personal best you enter.
FAQs
Why can’t I see all my personal records in the Runna app?
At the moment, personal records (PRs) in the Runna app are treated as milestones, meaning they only update when a new personal record is set. As a result, the app displays only your latest and current PRs, rather than keeping an all-time history of past bests
Can I delete a personal record?
Yes - you can delete personal records in the Runna app by going to the Activities tab.
Does Runna use moving time or elapsed time for PRs?
Runna uses elapsed time (also called total time) to calculate personal records. This means your PR includes any pauses or rests taken during the activity (for example, stopping to tie shoelaces, use the restroom, or open gates).
Will updating my PR affect my current plan?
Yes - updating a personal record may affect your current training plan. When you enter a new personal best, Runna may adjust your estimated race times and training paces for upcoming workouts based on the new PR. If the new PR is significantly faster than your benchmark time, it may also trigger a plan update.
Can I reset all my personal records?
You can’t reset or delete all your personal records in the app at once. Any changes need to be made individually, one PR at a time.
Do treadmill runs count toward personal records?
Not currently. Runna only saves personal records for outdoor activities, due to the difference in effort between treadmill/indoor workouts and outdoor runs. However, you’ll still be able to see best efforts for treadmill workouts - they just won’t be saved as an official Personal Record.
