Strides Plan: the Autumn Marathon plan in week 5 of 16, 79 days to go, with the plan overview chart.

Works with

The plan

A plan that fits
the week you have.

Choose your race, the days you can run and how many hard sessions you want. Strides lays out the whole block, easing back when it should and tapering you into race day, then shows what it should do for your time.

An example: a marathon, six runs a week, two hard sessions.

Built around your week

Only the days you can run. Cap a busy day at 45 minutes and no run on it goes past that.

You choose the hard days

None, one or two workouts a week, on the days you pick. You see a real week before you commit.

A finish time to chase

An estimate for every distance, today and on race day, so every week has a point.

Your plan

Every week,
written out.

Open the plan and the whole block is there: how far in you are, what’s ahead, and every run in every week with its distance, its paces and its shape. Tick runs off as you go, or move one to another day and the week makes room.

The Plan tab: the Autumn Marathon plan in week 5 of 16, the overview chart of all sixteen weeks, the race estimate of 3:42 to 3:48, and a card for each week listing its runs.

The blockSixteen weeks at a glance, the race estimate, and where you are today.
Week 5 of the plan: a bar for each day’s miles in its run type’s colour, then each workout of the week, from a recovery run and six two-minute reps to Friday’s threshold session and Sunday’s long run.

The weekEvery run with its type, its distance, its paces and the shape of the session.

Workouts

Make every session
your own.

Every workout Strides writes is yours to change: the reps, the paces, the rests. Or write one the way your coach says it, four broken miles with a fast last quarter, and Strides turns it into steps with a pace for every rep. Save it to your library and drop it on any day.

  • Reps side by side, each with its pace range
  • A library of your own sessions, ready for any day
  • Scheduled workouts go straight to your Garmin
The workout builder: Broken Miles, a speed session of about 6.5 miles, with its profile, a warm up, a rest, and four repeats of three-quarters of a mile at 6:05 and a quarter at 5:15.
The saved workout: Broken Miles, four times a mile from 6:05 to 5:15 per mile, about 6.5 miles and 34 minutes, with its profile and Schedule and Edit buttons.

Today

One screen. One run.
Everything else can wait.

Open Strides and the day is already sorted: one run, written out. Run it, and the same card becomes the run you did. This is the whole Home screen, top to bottom.

The Strides Home screen after this morning’s run: the Coastal Long Run done, 13.13 miles in 1:36:33 with its route, then this week’s chart, an insight about pace, and saved workouts. The same Home screen before the run: up next, the Coastal long run, 13.1 miles with the last three quicker.

Activities

See the month
you’ve built.

Each month opens on its own summary: the miles, the runs, the hours, and a bar for every day you ran. Beneath it, every run keeps its type, its numbers and its route, so a glance shows how the training was spent.

    On purpose

    No feed. No leaderboard.
    Just the long game.

    Strides is deliberately not social. There are no followers, no kudos and no segments to chase, so nothing is pushing you to beat yesterday’s pace or last month’s miles. Easy days stay easy, down weeks stay down, and progress is measured the way it’s really made: over months and years.

    A year of easy running

    Pace at the same heart rate, week by week

    0:35 /mi faster at the same effort, from a year of weeks that didn’t all go to plan.

    Nobody watching

    Your runs aren’t posted anywhere or ranked against anyone else’s. They’re yours.

    Nothing to beat today

    An easy day is a success when it’s easy. The plan decides when to push, not your last run.

    Measured in months

    Trends look across weeks and months, so one slow run is just one run.

    The app

    Intuitive by design.
    Powerful underneath.

    Four tabs, each with one job: Home for today, Plan for the block, Activities for every run, Trends for where it’s going.

    Method and official sources

    Feature availability reflects the named workflow, not every related feature. A cross means the precise workflow is not offered in our product assessment, not a blanket claim about all related features. Runna supports pace targets and a curated workout library; the comparison is specifically about a side-by-side rep view with pace ranges and creating, editing and saving fully custom reusable workouts. US standard individual pricing and product information checked September 9, 2026; taxes, regions, purchase channels and offers may vary. Runna is $19.99/month; Strava is $11.99/month. Strava + Runna is also offered as a $149.99/year bundle.

    Will Strides build me a plan?

    Every one. Change the reps, paces and rests, move a run to another day, or build a session from scratch. Anything you make can be saved to your library and dropped on any day of the plan.
