My training plan has no speed workouts, just easy economy runs. Is this correct?
Yes, if you haven't specifically restricted speed sessions in your settings, then a plan with only easy economy runs is correct for you at this moment. This is a perfect example of how TrainAsONE personalises your training – it's scheduling the precise mix of workouts that will help you reach your goals safely and efficiently.
Why might this happen?
This type of schedule is most common in these situations:
-
Early Stages of a Plan: Especially when starting out or returning to running, building a solid aerobic base with easy runs is crucial before adding intensity.
-
Training for Long Distances: When preparing for events like a half or full marathon, initial phases often prioritise building endurance.
-
Pace Considerations: It can also be more common for runners who are currently at a slower pace, as the system focuses on foundational fitness first.
What should I do?
Continue to follow your plan with confidence. It's designed specifically for your current fitness and goals. You'll likely see speed workouts start to appear in your schedule within a few weeks as your fitness progresses and the plan adapts.
Could I have accidentally turned off speed work?
It's possible. There are two main ways speed sessions might be prevented from being scheduled:
-
Speed Workouts Disabled: You may have turned off speed workouts directly in your Training Settings.
-
Very Short Max Durations: If you've set the maximum permitted duration for your runs to a very low value in your Training Settings, it can limit the system's ability to schedule varied workout types, including some speed sessions.
