MyPlan – Create your own running plan in Run Trainer for iOS

Looking for a running app that lets you create your own running plan in Run Trainer for iOS?

Most runners use standard training plans inside a running app because it’s fast, simple and effective. However, sometimes you don’t want a fixed 5K, 10K or half marathon schedule. Instead, you might need flexibility to achieve a personal goal or support your recovery. That’s exactly why we built MyPlan inside Run Trainer, it will let you create your own running plan in Run Trainer.

When do you need a personal running plan?

There are many situations where a fixed schedule simply doesn’t fit. For example, imagine you’re following a training plan from your physiotherapist. Instead of carrying notes or screenshots, you can recreate the intervals inside MyPlan. As a result, your iPhone guides you step-by-step with voice updates while you focus entirely on your pace.

You might also need a custom running plan if:

• You received a personalized training plan from a coach
• You are preparing for a specific race with a unique build-up
• You are coming back from injury and need a slower progression
• You want to combine running with strength training or other sports
• You prefer full control over your weekly structure

Instead of adjusting yourself to a built-in program, MyPlan allows you to create your own running schedule directly inside the app.

How MyPlan works inside the Run Trainer app

MyPlan is part of our Training Center and is designed to be fast, simple and structured. At the same time, it is fully integrated with our run tracker.

1. Create sets for your training phases

First, you can create multiple training sets. For instance:

“NY Marathon – November”
“Base Building – May”
“Recovery Phase”

Each set can contain multiple custom workouts. Consequently, it becomes easy to organize your entire training cycle inside one running app.

2. Build your workout step-by-step

Creating a custom run is straightforward.

You simply add a step such as walk, jog or run. Then you select the duration via a dropdown menu. Finally, you repeat the process until your workout is complete.

During your run, the app automatically provides voice guidance, just like our built-in schedules. Meanwhile, you can listen to music while the app updates you step-by-step. Because the audio integrates seamlessly, you stay focused throughout the session.

Paper notes that fly away while running not needed!
A wrist full of sharpy notes. No way!
Memorizing intervals? Nope!
No guessing what’s next.

A running app with full flexibility

When we introduced MyPlan, most competitors did not offer fully custom running workouts inside a structured training environment.

While many run tracker apps focus only on tracking distance and pace, others limit you to fixed training programs. With MyPlan, however, you get both flexibility and structure.

You benefit from:

• Advanced run tracking
• Performance statistics
• Achievements and milestones
• Complete freedom to build your own custom running plan

Whether you’re training for a 5K, 10K or half marathon, or simply following your coach’s program, Run Trainer adapts to you.

Who is MyPlan for?

MyPlan is ideal if you already follow a personal training plan or want more control than standard Couch to 5K programs offer. It also suits experienced runners who train for specific race goals, as well as runners who need flexibility due to work schedules or recovery.

Therefore, if you’re searching for a running app for iOS that allows custom training plans, Run Trainer gives you that freedom.

What’s next for MyPlan in Run Trainer?

We’ve been developing Run Trainer since 2010. Over the years, we have continuously improved the app and refined features based on user feedback. Although MyPlan started as a simple feature, it has evolved into a powerful tool runners rely on.

In future updates, we plan to introduce sharing, importing and editing of custom running plans. This will allow runners to exchange structured workouts while still adapting them to personal needs.
