Training Help
Quick Reminders
- You CAN move workouts around during the week. You can’t drag them on the calendar yet, but if you need to shift days, go for it — just be sure to mark what you complete.
- Do NOT stack two hard workouts back-to-back.
- Hard workouts include: Long Runs, Tempos, Fartleks, Aerobic Repeats, Track Workouts, and Progression Runs.
- Rule of thumb: Easy + Strides = NOT a hard workout | Others probably are.
You may always substitute a run with cross training if weather or scheduling makes more sense.
Good options include biking 🚴, swimming 🏊, elliptical, and more.
On hard days, make sure you challenge yourself. You are supposed to sweat — and it is supposed to be difficult.
Please ask if you have any questions.
🚨 NEW FEATURES JUST DROPPED 🚨
📝 Workout Self Evaluation
When you mark a workout complete, you will now be asked to complete a Workout Self Evaluation.
- How you felt during the run
- Your perceived effort (RPE)
This is similar to Garmin’s self-evaluation feature. Over time, this data will help us better understand training response and train smarter.
⏰ Weather Added to the Calendar
Weather is now built directly into the calendar view. You’ll see:
- Daily high / low temperatures
- A quick-glance weather emoji
This allows for faster planning and may prompt you to check hourly conditions when deciding when to run.
