How to Add a Race to Your Training Plan

Have a race coming up? Here are the ways to add it so your plan builds towards it.

Option 1: Adjust Plan

1. Open the You tab and tap the settings cog at the top right.
2. Under Training, tap Adjust Plan.
3. Add your race when asked about upcoming races. Your other answers are kept.

Option 2: Your end-of-block check-in

Near the end of each block, a check-in appears on your Today screen. Its races step lets you confirm the races you still plan to do, and edit, remove or add a race.

Option 3: Start a new plan

If you want a fresh plan built entirely around the race, use Start New Plan in the same Training section.

Option 4: Message the coaching team

If you'd prefer a coach to add it, open Settings (the cog at the top right of the You tab) and, under General, tap Speak to a coach (or Help & support, depending on your version of the app). Tell us:

• The race name and distance (for example 10K, half marathon, marathon, HYROX)
• The race date
• Your goal (finish, PB, target time)

What happens after you add a race

Your plan builds towards race day, includes race-specific sessions where appropriate and tapers in the final weeks so you're fresh on the start line.
