Structured Running Workouts

This running library collects structured sessions for the whole training year, from easy aerobic runs and long runs to tempo, threshold, VO2max and track work, race pace sessions and fitness tests. Each workout has a clear warm-up, main set and cool-down, with every step written out so you can run it exactly as planned.

Targets are relative to your own fitness. Pace targets are based on your threshold pace, heart rate targets on your maximum heart rate and power targets on your running threshold power. Enter your values once and the step tables show your personal paces, heart rates and power ranges.

Filter by category, level, training phase and race goal to find a session that fits your week. Many workouts work on a treadmill as well as on the road or track and are marked accordingly. Download any workout as a FIT file for your watch, or collect several into a plan and sync them to your device.
