Tired of doing the same half marathon plan year after year? Looking for more variety? We hear you! Runkeeper's race training plans were developed with researchers at the ASICS Institute of Sport Science to help you achieve your goals, while enjoying the journey from start to finish.
Already started a plan? We know that your training needs to evolve with your life! See the Change Plan section below for more information on how to make updates to your current plan while maintaining your plan history.
Getting Started
To get started with a Personalized Race Training Plan, head over to the Training tab. From here, select the "Train for a Race" option, and then input the distance you want to train for. This will prompt you to a screen where you can "Get Started."
Race Time & Goal Time
Upon selecting your training plan distance, you'll be asked to select the date of your race and your time goal. After you create your plan, you can always change your race date and goal time, we know that life happens!
Running History
To accurately create a plan according to your ability, share with us your longest recent run (better to under-estimate than to over-estimate!)
If you ran a marathon, tell us how long it took; again, better to under-estimate if you don't have that data on hand!
Decide when you want to train
Choose how far you run weekly already, and then the days you'd like to run as part of this plan. With all this information, we'll build your plan using all the information you've given us!
Rescheduling your training plan workouts
Don't want your long runs to be on Sunday this week? Feeling sick and need to push back your Wednesday workout? No worries! You can reschedule the current week's workouts individually by tapping on the blue pen and paper icon on the right of the workout cell.
Once you've selected the day and time you'd like to do that workout, just select Done and your workout will be rescheduled.
Changing your plan customizations
We understand that life happens! If you need to make changes to your race date, goal time, race distance or recurring schedule you can do so by selecting Settings in the training plan overview and then selecting Change Plan. This will walk you through the personalization questions again so that you can change any or all of the plan customizations. We will save your plan history and update your plan going forward to capture your changes.
*Please note, you can only be enrolled in one training plan at a time!
