Change my training days (running) and add cross-training (cycling, S&C workouts)
Do you want to permanently modify your training days or adjust them for the current week due to an unexpected event?
In the RunMotion Coach app, you can do this in two ways:
You can select your running days and other activities (strength training, cycling, swimming, skiing...) in your profile.
This option is available only in Premium features.
However, modifying your running days only is available in the free version.
You can adjust your schedule for a specific week (e.g., swapping training days or skipping a session due to unforeseen circumstances) directly in the timeline for the current week.
This feature is available only in Premium features.
You can make changes via the timeline using the "Edit" button in the week type section.
iPhone users: Swap sessions between days using the arrows.
Android users: Drag and drop sessions between days.
If you want to adjust the number of weekly training sessions or request an easier week, tap "I want to modify my week type" to start a conversation and set your preferences.
Go to My Profile (icon at the bottom right) > Settings > My Training Preferences > My Training Days.
From here, you can set up your preferences for ALL future weeks (except for race weeks, which are automatically adjusted for tapering).
If you don’t see options like running, cycling, swimming, skiing, or strength training, you may be using an outdated version of the app. Make sure to update it via the App Store or Google Play.
At the top of the settings page, you'll find advice on the recommended number of training sessions per week based on your profile.
Important: Each selected day will generate a training session. To include rest days, avoid selecting those days.
If you select both running and cycling on the same day, you’ll receive both sessions on that day, suitable for more experienced athletes.
While it's possible to schedule two sessions per day (one per sport), we recommend this only for advanced athletes.
In Advanced Settings > My Training Days, you can set the days for your two key running sessions:
Long run
Interval training
Important: These key sessions should only be scheduled on days when no other sports (cycling or strength training) are planned.
If you want to occasionally add cycling or strength training on one of these days, you can adjust this via the timeline by editing the week.
If cycling and strength training are already scheduled for the same day, running cannot be added.
You can add strength training sessions to your plan to improve your running form and overall fitness.

You can add swimming sessions (open water, 50m pool, or 25m pool) to your training plan.

You can add cycling sessions (MTB, indoor trainer, gravel, or road) to your training plan.
