Run FAQs

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH RUNNING PROGRAM IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Plus icon

Our programs are designed to meet you at your current fitness level. We suggest taking our find your perfect program quiz which will help you figure out where to start.

Choose based on:
1) Your longest recent run
2) Your weekly mileage
3) Time until your race

Our programs come in Beginner, Intermediate, and/or Advanced levels to match your current abilities:

→Choose Beginner if you can complete the baseline distance but haven't trained specifically for that race distance before. Choose Intermediate if you've completed the distance and run 3-4 times weekly with some consistent mileage.
→ Choose Advanced if you've completed multiple races at that distance, consistently incorporate speed-work, and want significant time improvement.

Remember: select based on your current fitness, not your aspirations. Starting at the right level ensures better progress and reduces injury risk. Still unsure? Our coaches provide personalized guidance through in-app messaging.

CAN I START TRAINING BEFORE THE FULL 12 WEEKS BEFORE MY RACE?
Plus icon

Absolutely—and we recommend it!

Starting earlier gives you more time to build gradually and safely. If your race is more than 12 weeks away, you can:

1) Begin with a Base Build program before transitioning to your race-specific plan. This is also a great way to slowly add in some speed work to work on getting faster in a more gradual way before race training
2) Start with a shorter distance program to work on getting fitter or faster (like 5K before 10K)
3) Repeat specific weeks in your program to extend your training timeline.

Our coaches can help you create the perfect training pathway inside the app!

HOW DO YOUR RUNNING PLANS WORK WITH YOUR LIFTING PROGRAMS?
Plus icon

All our running programs are designed to pair perfectly with our lifting plans. For most runners, PERFORM or LIFESTYLE offer the ideal strength complement, with RACE specifically designed for peak training season. We provide guidance on scheduling both types of workouts throughout the week to maximize results while preventing fatigue. You can easily adjust either program's volume based on your recovery capacity and priorities, or move between programs inside.

To add a running plan to a lifting plan, join our FULL HYBRID MEMBERSHIP from our lifting programs pages. Upon joining, message the coaches and we will personally apply your run plan or help you pick it out.

WHAT IF MY CURRENT FITNESS DOESN'T MATCH THE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS?
Plus icon

Always start with a program matching your current abilities, not your aspirations. If you don't meet the baseline for your goal program, begin with a more accessible option first. For example, if your goal is a half marathon but you can't run 5 miles continuously yet, start with our 10K program before progressing to half marathon training. This creates a safer, more effective progression.

On a tight timeline? Our coaches can help create a customized path using our "bridge programs" to gradually increase your mileage at an appropriate rate for your specific situation. We'll personally guide you to your goal race as safely and efficiently as possible, whether you need a conservative approach or a more aggressive buildup.
