RunPlan: Training Plans | Running 5k to Marathon
RunPlan
RunPlan helps you to organise your racing and training calendar. Use as a personal running coach and try the personalised marathon training plan or a short term 5k training plan. If you have a private coach you can allow them to take control of your schedule. Connect with your friends to take a look at their upcoming running schedule.
Races
Ever lose track of exactly when you are running you next race? How many weeks until the big marathon? Add races or your planned parkrun events to your plan to have an easy place to go and see your list of races and get a countdown to the date. Fill in a target time and we'll show you the pace required to hit that time. Add extra information such as race start time or location as needed. You'll see your next race on the homepage. Select 5k, 10k, half marathon, marathon or alternatively enter your own custom race distance.
Sessions
Your list of running sessions is the main feature of the application. Here we have key details of your runs such as warm-up, the main set, cool-down and of course the date along with the training type and total estimated distance. Estimated distance is used to calculate your total weekly running mileage, including race distances, which is displayed on top of the screen. This should help plan out a sensible weekly load. Save templates to avoid regularly entering the same information.
Plans
Build out your own running plan or get stuck into one of ours. Personalised running training plans are available for all levels of runners. Select from Couch to 5k, Improver's Plan, 5k Training Plan and Marathon Training Plan. Couch to 5k will get you started with a standard running plan that takes you from a mix of jogging and walking, up to 30 minutes of steady running and ready to take on your local parkrun. The improver's training plan builds from 2 runs per week up to 4 runs per week and is tailored to you based on your current 5k pace. There is also a 4 week repeatable training block suitable for all levels for runners who are used to running regularly and want to add some structure to their training. This plan is also good for 10k training, half marathon training or marathon training. For a longer term plan try the marathon training plan which builds up to a target race pace over 16 weeks.
Coaching
It's easy to register as a coach with RunPlan. This allows all users of RunPlan to see your profile and add you as a coach. As a coach of an athlete, you will be able to add, update and delete races and training sessions from your athlete's calendar.
Connections
Connect with other RunPlan users. This allows you to view the full list of races that they intent to run along with details of their next training session. Copy a race from their running training plan into your own plan. This feature enables you to quickly see what your friends have planned, perhaps with a view to joining them in their next training session or race.

Great app. Simple, intuitive, focused. The ease of use of the app struck me. I wanted to schedule a training plan, so I just bought a plan and boom, my sessions were all loaded. I wanted to change the date of a session and that was possible too by simply clicking on the session. I like that this app knows what it is: it's a run planner. Exactly what it says on the tin. The interface is also beautiful, fluid and satisfying to use. Hats off to the developer.
I've been using RunPlan for a year and a half now and the results have been phenomenal. My 5k time has dropped by 6 minutes from using the plans and the marathon plan last year set me up for a time I'm very proud of. The UI is really intuitive and all the features are great. Look forward to continuing to use it and shave off a few more minutes!
Paid and downloaded but the km totals for each session doesn't match the session. Eg 8 x 800m @pace 8:20/km...the total km shown for that session is 16km!....update... Hey! Thanks for your instantaneous ( that's the only word for it!) response!... point taken, but I still think the total should only show your main workout... Those big numbers for a 10 K plan really puts you off... thanks.
Just bought the training plan for marathon. Hoped I'd be able to edit my start and end date. My race is June 6th and i have been training off another plan for months. Hoped i could edit the start date of the 16 week plan to 3 weeks ago .... Is that possible? Otherwise its a good app. Free 5k plan is well structured. Also - it would be useful to be able to change goal time. Many people might want to change goal time mid plan - either faster or slower depending on how training has progressed ...
Terrible app. Try something else. Just bought a 16 week plan for 32kr, but all measures are in miles and not km. I changed the masurement to km in settings, but it doesn't change the plan I bought. Now I have to change all 61 sessions to km manually.
Very smooth interface. Developer very responsive to feedback. Looks like a very promising project. Well done.
Good workouts to improve speed and endurance. There is a good balance of interval work with recovery and longer endurance runs.
Just started, but liking the set out plan. Allows me just to get on with running. The paces are out a lot for me, so I just go with what feels right. All in all... love the app!
Customer service superb. Made an error and was immediately addressed within the hour. Excited to use it to come back training for a full mary
Excellent app, just needs to be able to go back and look at the sessions that is past.
bought the marathon training program, but set in the wrong time.. and I can't find an option to edit it.
Good idea, but I would love to have a summary calendar view for one month where I can see which sessions I had on which days (like color dots) , how many km run etc
I paid for the marathon training programme but the sessions haven't appeared? Am I missing something? That's done the trick. Thanks!!
seems like a good app, but when i bought the buy a coach option, nothing happened. i would like to know if there is a problem with the app, or if not if i can get a refund???
Good app and great service support. Can't wait to start my marathon training!
Great app. It's helping me to get back into regular running. easy to recommend.
Paid for half marathon plan but I messed up so decided to start over now it's telling me to buy it again! Don't download this app!
I messed up selecting the race days and it was a quick refund, thank you.
great app allows you to plan racing and training and also good value programmes
It said this app was good for half marathons but there is no half marathon training plan!
Excellent running plans for all distances
Running training is more efficient now
Just what I was looking for. Great planner.
I didn't get the plan after paying the amount.i selected half marathon
Hi brian i am unable to add ur 5k plan i have purhased please check and let me ASAP thanks.....
The app is good, but could do with some additional features. For example when you set the plan up, then decide you want to run on different days you have to change each run date manually. Also, the mileage versus the times often don't match. For example in a 50 minute session it suggests I should do 9 miles...which would be fine if I was Mo Farah. You also can't see any previous sessions completed, or select different days on the calendar. Love the simplicity though
