Five plans: Zero to 5K (an 8-week walk/run programme), 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon. The distance plans run 16 weeks by default; if your race is further away the extra weeks go into the base phase, and tighter timelines still build with a warning. Training plans

You choose the goal (start running, improve a time, or a race on a date), how many days a week you can run (2 to 6), which weekdays, and which day is your long run. Target paces come from your current 5K. The plan puts easy days between hard sessions, raises weekly volume by no more than 10% at a time, drops the load every fourth week, and tapers before a race. Setting up an Improve Pace plan

Not for the Zero to 5K plan. It uses walk/run intervals set by ability (beginner, intermediate or advanced) and trains by time. Every other plan needs a current 5K time so training paces and race predictions mean something. When you finish 0→5K the app prompts you to save that time as your first 5K. Zero to 5K plan

Easy runs at conversational effort, tempo runs about 8–10% slower than 5K pace, intervals of 400m reps at around 5K pace with jog recoveries, a weekly long run at easy effort, walk/run sessions on the 0→5K plan, and rest days. Every session has warm-up, work and cool-down blocks. Session types

It stays missed. Runese does not silently reshuffle your week. Open Manage plan, tap Defer on that run and pick a later free day, or leave it and carry on with the next session. Adjusting workouts

Yes. Turn on parkrun when you build the plan and a 5K stays locked to every Saturday, with the long run moved to another day you choose. Keeping parkrun on Saturday

Eight weeks. Weeks 1 to 7 are walk/run sessions that build toward continuous running, with optional 2K, 3K and 4K try days. Week 8 ends with a 5K Day of run chunks and walk breaks rather than a race. The intensity steps back every fourth week so the load can settle. Zero to 5K plan

Yes. Start a workout on the iPhone and hand it off to Apple Watch, or run outdoors with the phone's GPS or on a treadmill. The watch follows the warm-up, work and cool-down blocks with voice cues, next-lap and pause, then saves back to Runese. Workouts and Apple Watch

Yes. Connect Strava once in Profile and every workout you save uploads automatically. Your training week stays in Runese; the activity also appears on Strava. Settings, explained

Yes. Runese reads steps and workouts from Apple Health, writes the sessions you run, and pairs activities recorded elsewhere back to the plan by date. Android health sync arrives with the Android app. Settings, explained

With the Riegel formula: predicted time = known time × (target distance ÷ known distance) ^ 1.06. It uses your current 5K to estimate 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon times, and updates as you log faster runs. The same formula powers the free race time predictor on this site.
