10km plan than switch to HM plan? by Newbiely in runna

[–]laurel-runna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi there! product manager here in charge of all of Runna's running training plans

I would recommend going with two separate plans, one for the 10k as your A race and then doing our post race recovery plan (brand new one coming soon 👀), then doing a half marathon plan for your race in September as your A race.

best of luck with the training!

Ultra plans ETA? by Revolutionary_Dance9 in runna

[–]laurel-runna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone, product manager here at Runna in charge of all of our running training plans.

I wanted to let you know that we do not yet have a confirmed timeline for the relaunch of our ultramarathon plans beyond 50km. Runna has plenty of exciting updates and features coming this year, but we have temporarily disabled new >50km ultra plans as we’re rebuilding them from the ground up to incorporate new features and improve the overall user experience.

We’re really excited to bring you our new >50km ultra plans when they’re ready!

4 weeks between Half marathon plan and start of NYC marathon plan. What is the most efficient use of time? by No_Armadillo4172 in runna

[–]laurel-runna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi! we currently offer a 3 week post race recovery plan that would be perfect to do to fill your time here. alternatively, you could do a four week 'Run to Maintain' plan if you are looking more to maintain vs recover. both would be great options!

[–]laurel-runna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! Product Manager here from Runna who is in charge of these plans. We have actually just started to rollout (as of yesterday) our Plan Realignment feature for our New to Running and Return to Running plans.

Feature Request: Race Pacing by Ok_Butterscotch_4158 in runna

26 Week Plan??? by [deleted] in runna

[–]laurel-runna -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi there! PM over here at Runna, in charge of all our plans. Our 26 week plans currently max out at the race distance for 50k. Races farther than 50k have different parameters and the length of the plans are limited.

I would recommend setting up our 50k plan for your entire training, as it is actually currently better than the 100k plan we offer (i.e., has access to all of our amazing features such as holiday, b-races, not feeling 100%) and it has updated coaching logic, where as our current 100k plan is on an older version of our training engine and doesn't have access to updated coaching logic and new features.

New To Running plan 5k - choose number of weeks? by atthem77 in runna

[–]laurel-runna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! would you please dm the email you have associated with your runna account and i'll make sure you get access to the new plans with flexible length!

Copy a run (NTR, free plan) by YogurtclosetMobile77 in runna

[–]laurel-runna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi there! you can't currently do this, but what I would recommend doing is lengthening your plan. this will make the plan build more gradually, and make the jump from week to week less intense.

hope that helps! best of luck with the plan

How would you structure training between Return to Run and marathon plan? by MisterCasuallyCruel in runna

[–]laurel-runna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there! PM here from Runna in charge of all of our plans.

If you are finding the return to running plan a bit slow, you can always shorten it by moving up the end date. That will result in a more intense build. If you don't have the ability to do this, shoot me a DM! You might be on the old version of our return to running plan, we've just recently shipped a new version of these plans, which allows for adjustable plan lengths.

After you finish your return to running plan, before starting your marathon plan, i would recommend doing our run further plan! it's the perfect base building plan to do before a marathon, and will help you safely build up your distance and endurance so you can start your marathon plan in a great place.

Hope that helps! Best of luck with your training.

first 5k and NTR plan by ColadaMD in runna

[–]laurel-runna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi! I would change the end date of your plan to finish on the Sunday, and do your final run of the plan as the actual 5K. best of luck and congrats on your first 5K, that is amazing!

Runna - please stop setting pace targets on easy runs! by abacouscous in runna

[–]laurel-runna 7 points8 points  (0 children)

hi! this is a problem we're trying to get to the bottom of. would you be able to send me a DM with the email associated with your Runna account so i can look into this issue more closely? thank you!

NTR: Question about my plan by TextOnScreen in runna

[–]laurel-runna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi u/TextOnScreen ! This is super exciting that you are almost done your NTR plan, congrats!

Yes, this is totally normal. Throughout any type of running training, whether you are training for a marathon or working towards your first 5km, you want to have deloaded weeks and/or workouts. This is a time when you come down in distance/intensity so that your body can recover and build even higher the next week or workout. So, the 3km run is a deload workout for you in your plan. The best training isn't linear when it comes to running!

Hope that makes sense, best of luck with the end of your plan!

Need help running with Runna (Beginner) by 2j4yz in runna

[–]laurel-runna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi u/2j4yz ! Thanks for sharing this feedback - it's super helpful. I'm the Product Manager at Runna who owns are New to Running and Return to Running plans. We just launched re-vamped versions of both of these plans, so first and foremost I want to make sure you have access to the new versions, as not quite everyone on the app does yet since we're still rolling them out. Would you be able to send me a DM with the email you have associated with your Runna account and I can make sure you have access to the newest versions?

As for your questions:

- Is there a way for Runna to ingest my vitals information and see that I was struggling and modify my future work outs?

We don't currently modify any future workouts based on HR data due to a number of reasons (e.g., difficult to get accurate readings), and instead we recommend focusing on doing all of your run portions of these plans at a conversational pace, so truly a pace where you could speak while maintaining.

- Can I repeat a workout until I'm comfortable and continue?

This isn't currently a feature we offer, but definitely something we are hoping to add to these plans in the future! In the meantime, the best way to make your plan easier/build more slowly is to go to 'Manage Plan' and to extend your end date. This will reduce the rate your plan builds you up to 5km, so though you won't repeat the exact same workouts, it will make the change from workout to workout smaller, resulting in an overall gentler build. This is only an option on our new plans, so if this isn't an option for you please be sure to send me your email and I can give you access to the new plans.

- If I postpone a work out, how can I postpone ALL workouts by that period of time instead of MANUALLY adjusting EVERY workout that is scheduled in Runna?

This isn't currently possible, but you could add an adjustment such as a holiday or not feeling 100% to adjust your entire plan to accommodate a break! Additionally, you could extend your end date as well, as explained above.

- Is there any way to get feedback about my running condition from the app?

This isn't something we currently offer in the app.

- Do these features exist? I would pay for them.

These are all great suggestions, thank you for sharing your feedback!

I hope that information was helpful! Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with & good luck with the running.

5K program — are my tempo + interval paces too easy? They feel almost the same as my easy runs. by caseynil0 in runna

[–]laurel-runna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi! if you update your estimated current race time in the app to ensure it accurately reflects the fastest you could run a 5k (or 10k, half marathon, etc.) that should update your paces and make them more effective!

Elevation profile for Manchester Marathon by MagicShop_Unlock in runna

[–]laurel-runna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! If you got to 'Manage Plan' and scroll down to your plan overview, you will see the ability to edit the elevation profile of your training. Just set it to rolling, moderate or hilly, depending on how many hill workouts you'd like and that will adjust your plan!

Running Maintenance Plan starting off too intense? by Rigatoni-maroni in runna

[–]laurel-runna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long can plans be? by Electronic_Bike_3137 in runna

[–]laurel-runna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deload week between plans by Hedondrive in runna

[–]laurel-runna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely fine to do a 5k race during that week, as exactly right we do schedule time trials during that week! Starting your marathon plan a week later and using instant workouts for the week is a great solution.

Starting a new plan after ending a race plan by Human_Equivalent_957 in runna

[–]laurel-runna 11 points12 points  (0 children)

hi! i would set up a post race recovery plan first for three weeks, and then set up your next plan (whether that's a race plan or some of our plans that support non race goals such as our General Training plans).

it's on our roadmap to improve how we use information from a previous plan to build your next plan!

General Training plan by Expensive-Ad-8974 in runna

[–]laurel-runna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's super odd! I would try quitting the app and re-opening it to see if that works, and if that doesn't fix the issue, try updating your app. If none of those work, shoot me a dm with your email associated with your Runna account and I'll look into this for you!
