The plan

Choose a proven plan or create your own

Plans written and published by runners, from a first 5k to an 85-mile-a-week marathon build. Preview one week by week, anchor it to your race day, and every workout carries the pace it is meant to be run at. Once you run it, the day shows what you actually did: distance, pace, splits and the map.

  • Written by runners
  • Anchored to race day
  • Target paces
  • Matched from Apple Health
A planned long run: 10 miles completed, the easy target pace, and the matched mock activity.

Or write your own

Write it, run it, publish it

Start from scratch or from a plan you already have, week by week, block by block. Run it yourself first, then publish it for other runners to follow. Every plan carries its author's name.

  • Week by week
  • Start from any plan
  • Publish under your name
