Have a race coming up that isn't in your current plan? Right now there are two ways to add a target event to your Edge training so we can build your plan around it.
Edge does not yet support adding a race directly from the AI Coach chat or from a "Races" section in your profile. If the AI Coach tells you to go to Profile > Races, that is not correct — please follow one of the options below instead.
Two Ways to Add a Race
Option 1: Re-run onboarding to set the race as your goal
The fastest way to add a race is to go back through onboarding and select the race as your training goal. Edge will then build a fresh plan that peaks you for race day, including race-specific workouts and a proper taper.
Use this option if:
You want a new plan built specifically around the race
Your goals have changed since you first set up your plan
You are happy to start a fresh training block
Option 2: Message your coach
If you would prefer to keep your current plan and have the race added in, message our coaching team directly through the in-app support chat. Let us know:
The race name and distance (e.g. 10K, half marathon, marathon, HYROX)
The race date
Your goal for the race (finish, set a PB, target time, etc.)
A coach will adjust your plan so it builds toward your event with the right intensity and taper.
What Happens After You Add a Race
Once your race is added, Edge will:
Adjust your weekly training to build toward race day
Include race-specific workouts where appropriate
Schedule a taper in the final days or weeks before the race so you are fresh on the start line
