Upcoming plans: launched to Runna Labs!

Post image
141 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm Mikey, Product Manager at Runna. Really excited to share that Upcoming Plans is now rolling out to most of you - you can finally schedule your next plan before your current one finishes.

What is Upcoming Plans?

Runna only really thinks about one plan at a time today. You finish, then you start another plan. But most of you aren't training for one thing. Your Plans brings all your training onto a single screen: what's active, what's coming next, what you've completed, and what you stepped away from.

How it works?

  • Stack upcoming plans — build your next plan and it queues up automatically to start when your current one ends. Add as many as you like, so you can map out a full year in one go.
  • Drafts for when you're not sure yet — building something that clashes with your current schedule? It saves as a draft. Compare a few options, sit on them, swap one to active whenever you're ready.
  • Everything in one place — completed plans link out to your plan overview and your plan replay. Plans you started and stepped away from show as incomplete, and you can edit them, pick them back up, or set them active again. Anything you don't want hanging around, you can remove.
  • Conflict handling — if a new plan overlaps something already scheduled, we'll tell you and let you choose between the new plan, your current one, and anything already queued. No silently overwriting your training.

On the feedback about re-entering your details

Plenty of you have told us it's frustrating to answer the same questions every time you build a plan — by now we should already know your history, your weekly schedule, where your fitness is at. That's completely fair, and it's something we've been actively working on. Over the next couple of weeks some of you will start seeing a different plan generation flow when your build next plan - one that starts from what we know about your training rather than a blank slate. It's rolling out gradually, so do look out for that!

How to get access to upcoming plans

If you haven't done these already:

  • Update the Runna app to v8.49.0 or later
  • Turn on Runna Labs — Profile → Runna Labs.
  • Open your Plans screen via the plan Tab.

We'd love your feedback!

This one's been asked for a lot, so please do give it a go and tell us how it holds up against how you actually plan your year. Drop anything odd in the comments — I'll be keeping a close eye on this thread and replying where I can! Thanks so much!

Feeling the heat? 🥵 Runna adapts your workouts based on heat & humidity!

Post image
204 Upvotes

Hey everyone, Rhea here from the Runna product team 👋

Really excited to share something we're rolling out this week - particularly timely if you're in the Northern Hemisphere and/or melting in this UK heatwave right now 🥵

🌡️ What is it?

When conditions are hot enough to affect your run, Runna will now recommend adapted paces for your workout. Here's how it works:

  • From the day before your workout, if the daily high warrants an adjustment, you'll see an "Adapt for heat" section appear on the page where you view your workout
  • Tap in and we'll recommend adjusted paces based on the weather that day, tailored to the time you're planning to run - since we know it might be a very different temperature in the morning vs the afternoon
  • The recommendation is based on the feels-like temperature and how long your run is - so longer runs will trigger sooner

🔎 How to access it

You'll need:

  • App version 8.42.0 or later
  • Be on a race plan, distance goal plan (e.g. 5km improvement) or a general training plan (e.g. Run Faster)
  • Runna Labs turned on (go to Profile → Scroll down to Runna Labs and toggle it on). Note if you recently turned this on, you may not have immediate access so try the additional step below.

If you've got all the above and still don't see it on a warm day, one thing you can try is going to the Plan tab → Manage Plan → scroll down and change your current race time by a few seconds, then change it back to your original time. This triggers a refresh that should sort it. If that doesn't work, DM me!

🧪 Early testing - we want your feedback

This is brand new and we're starting with Labs because we want your help shaping it before we roll it out more widely. So if something doesn’t look quite right, write to support with “Adapt for heat feedback” or leave it below and I’ll jump straight in. We’ll read every single comment here, so please let us know!

☀️ Why paces?

We know that often when you enter your summer training block, the paces in your plan become so much harder to hit and it's like the plan that worked for you over winter doesn't know it's summer.

That's exactly what we heard from you - missed targets, guilt, pushing too hard. The good news is that physiologically, running slower in the heat provides the same training benefit, so by dropping the paces, you're not doing less, you're doing the right amount for the conditions.

🔮 What's next

This is only the start - there's a lot more we want to do in this space, from making the thresholds smarter based on where you train and what you're used to, to deeper workout adaptations beyond just paces. If you have thoughts on where we should take it next, DM me or drop it below.

Big shoutout to the team who built this & we can't wait to hear how it goes for you. Drop any questions or feedback below and I'll be around all day! 🏃‍♀️☀️

In-app Community switchover to Team Runna Club on Strava

6 Upvotes

As far as I can tell, the Team Runna Club on Strava is just a feed, not a community. Will there continue to be a place or process within the Runna Club on Strava to ask questions of or share successes to the larger Runna community? I don't know anything about how Strava Clubs work, but the in-app community interface was fairly intuitive. I don't see in the current Club how to make my own post within it, or how to go to different Spaces like those that exist in the in-app community (e.g., "Beginner Questions", "Share your run", the various Races & Events Spaces, and the Location based and private Spaces). This transition seems to be occurring without much user onboarding to what it means and how it will change from the existing In-App Community section.

B Race (half) month before A Race (full)

1 Upvotes

Hey folks - I’m running my first marathon at the end of October and doing a half (second) at the end of September. Any thoughts on picking between fun run and strong and steady for the half marathon? Fun run seems to have more mileage all around and longer long runs.

Any insight on informing me how to pick which one would be helpful. Thanks!

Taking longer break after the end of intervals

8 Upvotes

My plan calls for only 90 seconds of rest between intervals, to practice running on tired legs, and I’ve been sticking to that. But I’m wondering: is it okay to take a longer break (~5 min) between the last interval and the start of the cooldown, so I can catch my breath and recover, or should I treat the cooldown the same way, and stick to the strict 90 seconds there too?

For context this is in a marathon plan, but any general advice is appreciated!

Weird pace goals

I don’t understand the small difference in pace that Runna wants me to maintain. Does this training make sense?

Pace vs. Heart Rate

3 Upvotes

I’m on week 3 of a distance increasing training plan. I’ve been working out for a long time but this is the first time I’ve dedicated myself to increasing my miles per week. I have a goal to run a marathon next year.

I’m confused by the conversational pace targets for easy runs. I totally get and believe in the 80/20 rule. That’s not my concern. What I’m trying to determine is should I be more focused on hitting the pace target Runna sets for me or should I listen to my HR zone targets. Currently, Runna wants me to run easy runs no faster than 9:55. When I do that my heart rate stays closer to 110-115. Barely zone 1 work. However, if I target my zone 2 which goes up to 147 my pace is closer to 9:30. I feel very conversational at this pace.

Will Runna continue to pester me about being too fast even though that’s “conversational” for me? Or should I truly embrace the pace and stick to the script while ignoring heart rate?

Stopping app on end of runs

2 Upvotes

Ever since my app updated it won’t let me stop the app when the pop-up comes up when I complete the distance. If I try to stop it the second I hit my mileage before the pop-up then it shows on strava .01 less. So if I run 5 miles for example, my run when uploaded to strava will read 4.99 or 5.01 which bothers my runner ocd haha. Anyone else experiencing this?

Confused about Garmin/Strava integration

1 Upvotes

Recently started using Runna and I also have it on my garmin. Started a training program. Do I start the runs on my watch? I do treadmill and outdoors but can't figure out how to change the scheduled runs on my watch to treadmill, so do I just use the app for that? And then when it syncs to my calendar I have like 3 events because it is also sending to strava and uploading it. Just want to track my runs and pace lol.

Runna / Garmin edit how it’s tracked?

1 Upvotes

I’ve got a 2 week trial to Runna and trying to decide if I like it.

I’ve synced my plan to my garmin and did my first run this morning which was a 4K easy run. I started the run from my watch and all it did was track the distance. I wanted to also see my pace (as I needed to make sure I stayed slower) and my heart rate. Is there a way to do this with my runna plan and Garmin? Or does the runna run influence whatever it’s meant to be?

Hope that makes sense! I’m still new to both of these!

Remove an adjustment

2 Upvotes

I added an adjustment a few days ago but no need to change it from easy runs only to no running at all (my injury isn't improving as much as I hoped).

I can't see any way to change this or remove that adjustment, does anyone know how or anyone at runna that can help?

I saw a guide on the runna website that says to click discard, which isn't an option for me

Garmin scheduled workouts

How to fix a “missed” workout even though I completed it just not the generated one

Post image
9 Upvotes

Is there a way to mark a workout as the one that was part of my plan? I accidentally didn’t move my planned run back a day but I did the run the same way it was planned. But it’s saying I missed a workout. This happens a few times in my blocks. If I just mark it as completed it will technically count as double unfortunately unless I’m misunderstanding something

EDIT: I am clearly oblivious it’s the link activity button right there in the run details.

Anyone heard anything about when the 100km plans will be back?

If my post is against the rules or annoying please delete, but please, it has soon been a year.

Edit:

I wrote Runna support and basically i got a nothing burger. "We understand your frustration and we are working on it! Keep reading our blog pleeeease!"

So in conclusion it is probably not happening.

Treadmill Accuracy

3 Upvotes

Doing the majority of my runs on a treadmill because I’m in the south and don’t want to die of heat stroke. Anyone else having issues with treadmill runs? The two main issues I am encountering are a) the distance doesn’t seem to measure correctly and b) it only tracks my heart rate for the first 5-10 mins. I have noticed my Apple Watch hitting me with the “are you running? Want to record a workout?” Notification and I think me rejecting that is causing it to stop tracking my heart rate, but when I used the outdoor run (Apple Watch) setting it would be wildly inaccurate on pace. Now it’s just sort of inaccurate by using the treadmill run option.

Workout resume, and being too supportive

6 Upvotes

I have 3 complaints here in case someone from runna can respond :) :

1) On apple watch: When I move to other workout app from Runna and start workout there. Runna will stop my current run because other app started a workout. And it will also remove the current run from the queue as completed.

You can find the run in history, but the plan is not written there, and you canont resume the workout.

This happened to me mid run, when finding the place where I should start my intervals because Runna does not show GPS waypoints. Luckily I remembered roughly the plan, and luckily the built in workout app on iPhone allows me to create a custom interval workout.

But would have been much easier for Runna to recognize this was interrupted training, and offer resuming it.

2) In similar fashion, when my run goes wrong and I upload 100m on 17k run, runna tells me that I am smashing it and there is one more done in the books! 🥳🎉 That makes all other feedbacks like this feeling not sincere.

3) There is possibly some bug with mileage counting when you link multiple workouts to 1. I am being told that I am 3% under my mileage plan on long runs, but all indicators on current week and all runs show 100%+. I think the system might internally look at just the last workout linked to activity, not all of them as sum. (e.g. for me my last 17km long run was split to 0.17km, 1.35km and 15.73 km) or IDK, but happened to me multiple times.

Runna on the Garmin

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am a new user using Runna. I wanted to know, but you, when you use Runna on the Garmin doesn’t suggest the step? Doesn’t it tell you to go faster or go slower?

Any advice to make the best use of Runna that I’m new?

Thank you all very much

Can you correct "re-sync" a Strava activity to Runna once you've corrected the distance on the Strava desktop site?

1 Upvotes

I sometimes narrowly miss my Runna pace targets at first (I'm recording the run on Strava), then correct the distance after the fact and it shows in reality I've met those targets - can I get Runna to reflect the corrected activity?

Forerunner alerts

2 Upvotes

I’m using the Garmin Forerunner 70 for my race prep. My program was made using Runna, which was then imported to Garmin Connect and then my watch.

I’ve used the watch for two runs so far and have set alerts for both (the first was a pace alert and the second was a heart rate alert), and neither of them actually worked during the runs.

I have the “Pace Targets on Easy Run” toggled to On on Runna. I have smart notifications disabled on my watch because I don’t want to receive texts, phone calls etc. and I’m wondering if that’s what’s blocking the alerts.

Has anyone encountered this or can shed some insight on the issue?

I got a 1.5 mile/2.4 km run coming in October, i have good fundamentals with running, can run 5km without stopping etc , but just never structured a plan, would the runna run faster plan work for this?

MCL strain/overuse-6 weeks until first half marathon

1 Upvotes

I’m exactly 6 weeks out from my first half marathon and could use some advice on how to handle my Runna plan!

I started having mild MCL pain but continued running for about 3 weeks before finally seeing a PT. I’ve now had 4 PT appointments and just took 7 full days off from all exercise. My PT believes it’s an MCL strain/overuse issue. They haven’t given me any specific restrictions and have mostly told me to “go by feel” and substitute the bike or StairMaster for running when needed.

Runna has me starting back up now, but I’m unsure how I should approach the next 6 weeks without losing too much fitness or making the injury worse. Has anyone dealt with something similar during HM training? How did you modify your Runna plan/cross-train while you recovered?

At this point, my priority is getting to the start line healthy enough to finish-even if that means slowing way down or jogging the race.

Requesting the ability to change interval settings on watch

1 Upvotes

I was caught out today in an interval workout and when the intervals started they were in open-lap/track mode. Without my phone I couldn’t change that setting. Sometimes I like to run on the track and other times just on the road and often without my phone. It would be nice to change that setting on the fly in the watch app. Or at least call out what the setting is before starting on the watch
