TR Running Thread 2025

Training

Managed a 2 min PR over the 10k distance last weekend. Handful of speed sessions throughout the weeks leading up and intentionally keeping other runs in strict z2 HR to eliminate compounding fatigue seemed to be the ticket. Now building into peak week for marathon next month followed by a half (may convert to full) in early December.

I’ve been having fun programming my own runs and feel its going 'well enough’ however my wife is looking for a bit more structure. Has anyone used any of these AI coaching apps for running that are similar to TR for cycling? Runna and Athletica.ai are the main two in the space.

Yes, Runna is pretty good. However like all these AI training (it’s not coaching) apps, no better than a solid plan or a coach.

training vs coaching - good distinction. She’s not after a coach, rather a dynamic plan. Easy to follow one of the various plans on the internet, but how to modify it based on missed workouts and interval intensity specific to each athlete is what we’re after.

Thanks for the feedback on Runna.
