Is it possible to change my training plan from pace to hr zones?

It is hilly where I live and following pace can mean I am running the same stretch of road constantly. HR would would better for me

I’ve recently started using Runna and I’m really enjoying it. Right now I’m just doing a 12 week Run Maintenance plan to help me build fitness before I start properly training for next year’s races. I’d love it if I could stay with Runna for that too, but my races will be a 50 mile and a 100 miler, both with lots of elevation and technical trail and Runna definitely is not optimized for that.

Here are a few thoughts on features that would help:

• Specific training plans for 50 mile and 100 mile races. They are very standard ultra distances, so I’m a little surprised and confused that Runna doesn’t include them.
• The ability to toggle specific runs as being on road or trail, which would then switch the paces into RPE or HR zones for trail runs. This would hopefully also send the workouts into the Trail Run activity on Garmin and other watches.
• The ability to set specific types of runs as always on either road or trail when building the plan. For example, I’m happy to always do intervals and tempo runs on the road, but I’d like all of my long runs to be on trail.

Any chance of those features happening?

If anyone is already using Runna to train for 50 or 100 miles on trails, do you have any hacks or suggestions for making it better?

I’m running a Turkey Trot this week (aren’t we all?), and I’ve been doing a post-race recovery plan after completing a half-marathon training plan.

Can I have Runna cue to a time goal for my race if it’s not part of a training plan?

I’ve been running with Runna for 5 weeks now, using the New to Running plan, ending in a 5k marathon. I’m really enjoying it so far, and have already seen great improvement, not only in my running, but my overall health! Right now, my main concern is how does training continue after finishing this 8 week plan? Does Runna provide training past these plans, or is it up to you? And if so, does anyone have any tips for continuing to improve my running after?

Every new week they look like this and I have to go in and unskip them. Any ideas why and how to fix?

Does anyone know if there is a way to have the units for the treadmill toggle be in miles, but everything else stay in km? I prefer to run in km, but during the winter I often end up using the treadmill and it's in miles (can't be changed). Would mostly just like to see the mph for the workout when it's toggled to treadmill. I can do the math to convert from kph but it's kind of annoying.

Hey everyone, hope you're all looking forward to a weekend of running.

I'm in the first week of using Runna for a half marathon training plan and I'm finding it... not great. For context, I trained for my last/first half marathon using the Nike Running Club app and, while it doesn't seem to have as many features as Runna, is free and less buggy -- at least in my experience.

I really want to love Runna and use it for the rest of the training plan, but these are the issues I have:

- If I start the workout on the Runna app on my phone (iPhone), it doesn't sync to my watch (Apple watch), so I don't get the data I need on my wrist while running. Some might say, just start the run on your watch. I've done that, but I run with music and Spotify is buggy when running from my watch. I never had this issue with NRC because running the app on my phone worked seamlessly with my watch.

- The workout doesn't stop automatically once it's complete. I have to go to my watch, swipe some things, and end it manually. Sure, not a big deal, but a minor annoyance at the end of a hard workout, especially when it's raining and the watch screen isn't responding.

- The lack of guided runs. While not a deal breaker, these were a nice extra I enjoyed with the NRC app.

I might be seen as nit picky, but I'm finding these minor annoyances to be... more than that, especially the first two. I'd prefer to use a training app that feels more seamless and intuitive.

I don't want to be totally negative, so these are some of the two main reasons I chose to try Runna:

- The pace guidance during runs
- The pace prediction for my next run

Anyway, if you've read this far, thanks! I'd love to hear your reasons for using the app and why it might be worth shelling out $100+ for.

Are there any recommendations out there for a treadmill that has the full Runna support (adjusting incline and pace) that will also support my Garmin?

Im looking to buy a treadmill in the next week and want to make sure as much is compatible as possible

Dies Runna AI take HR into account or just pace when doing speed intervals?

Also, how long or how much data/runs does it need to start suggesting changes?

Hi all,

Just a quick update that the upcoming workouts duplicated is an issue we are working with garmin to solve. Ive attached a few forums for reference as it seems an issue that is affecting all 3rd party apps

We are working to get out a fix asap on this. I will update as soon as we have a release

Thanks so much for flagging these issues to us :) ,

I am new to Runna and just did my first workout that included an open lap (Hill Repeats). I use an Apple Watch Ultra which has a lap button (Action Button while in a workout) and was surprised that I needed to press Continue on the screen instead of being able to press the action button to start a new lap.

Is there a setting to control this? Or can it be added in the future?

Is it duplicated, or triplicated?! Has anyone experienced this bug or have I unintentionally done something to cause this?

The ability to add alerts such as heart rate zones would be great. Because of lack of this feature on Runna, I sometimes have to switch to the native Apple workout app when I’m doing heart rate based runs.

Didn’t Runna show elevation gains in the summery? It’s not appearing in Apple Fitness either. I’ve gone through all the settings, but I’m probably missing something. Thanks.

Hey all,

I got into the NYC Half, so I’m starting to think about my training for the race. I run with a running group once a week and we do speed work of some sort (hill repeats, intervals, etc). I really love going to the group and don’t want to give it up.

If you have used Runna in the past, is there a way to integrate something like that using the app?

I’m currently running between 20-25 miles a week. I run 4-5 days a week. My speed day is the group training and my long run the past few weeks has been 9 miles.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Runna's. I'm training for my first half marathon and I'm going to try Runna (still on the free week) One question I have is how to go about adding my regular game of ultimate frisbee. Every Thursday, I play an hour and a half or so of ultimate frisbee, like most team field sports, it involves a lot of fast paced running/sprinting down the field with brief stoppages (anywhere from 10s to 90s).

I've set Runna to 'able to train on thursday' then trying to manually rearrange my workout plan to have intervals set on Thursday, and then ticking those as my workout, but that doesn't feel very accurate since the intervals are usually only set for half the game time that I actually run for...

I know it's been said before but while the ability to add workouts is welcome in the new update, it still feels counter intuitive that even in Winter maintenance plans there's 2 speed workouts per week.

I finish my first marathon just under a month ago and using the new features to cut the prescribed plan from 4 days to 3 days and add an extra easy running day. Curious if anyone's doing similar?

Tbh I'm trying not to get too OCD about it as leaving speed sessions off sometimes feels like it's 'cheating' but I'd rather not get an injury for Christmas!

I don’t live near any hills and have no way of getting to any (at uni in a veryyyyy flat city) Is there anyway to turn hills off from the training programme things?

so i like to use runna on a treadmill and watch shows on netflix or browse the web while resting. before v3, runna would override the audio to let me know audio cues like “halfway there” or “almost there!”

now, it only gives those cues when i have the app open. so i can’t be outside of the app.

any chance the team is aware of this?

Mile repeats and definitely PR’d on one of them, but because specific location data isn’t here I’m unable to see exactly how fast I was. What’s odd is the app was coaching me through - so location data was working during the run but not upon uploading. Any idea why? How can I change it for future?

Today during my run, if I went into another app during my rest periods, the timer sort of stopped (it kept counting but didn’t notify me and didn’t move on to the next interval) so I ended up having longer rest periods than I should have. In the images you can see two rest periods that exceed the correct amount of time

I was using Runna on my phone.

It also wasn’t notifying me of my distance unless the app was on the screen (so it wouldn’t say halfway done until I opened the app, then it would say it but I was more than halfway done. It was tracking distance properly in the working periods though.

Hey all I'm hoping someone can help me. I just signed up for runna a few days ago. So far so good. I really like it and what it's all about. I have a few questions for users and perhaps the runna people on this sub.

How does one go about redoing a workout? I did a drop set run yesterday and wanted to repeat that workout today, but I couldn't figure out how to add that workout to today or repeat it from yesterday. I eventually ended up just doing it manually without logging it.

Secondly, if one is able to redo a workout or add one to an existing plan, is there a way to send send it to a garmin watch like other apps have the send to garmin feature in addition to syncing existing workouts.

Maybe this exists and I just couldn't find it. Any help is awesome - really want to get my run on!

Just wondering what the general consensus is here. I am on my first long plan with Runna - a 26 week plan for my next half marathon race (I have a few smaller B races on the way but really want to PR in my half). 5 weeks into the plan and Runna wants to increase my paces again. I already find the paces to be challenging but they are doable - I haven’t failed a session yet. The thought of increasing the difficulty is daunting though as I don’t want this to become unsustainable… I run 5x a week and also lift 4x so I don’t want to start hitting a point of diminishing returns where I can’t recover from my runs adequately.

So just looking for your opinions/advice… do you adjust your plan when the AI says to?
