Running plan questions, answered.

EzyRun is a web app that creates practical running training plans for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon goals. You choose a race distance, date, and plan direction, then preview the full schedule before deciding whether to save it.

They are built for beginner runners, everyday runners, and experienced runners who want a conservative race plan with a clear weekly structure.

You can generate a 5K training plan, 10K training plan, half marathon training plan, or marathon training plan.

Choose your race distance and date, select the plan direction that fits your goal, and generate the plan. You can see the full schedule first, then refine the training before saving or exporting it.

The plan considers your current weekly running, recent long run, available days, race date, experience, and goal. The opening schedule should reflect what you can manage now rather than increasing load just because the race goal is ambitious.

Beginner run/walk plans prioritize routine, time on feet, and comfortable effort. Finish-focused plans build endurance and consistency without forcing performance paces. Target-time plans add controlled faster work and race-specific guidance when the distance and current base support it.

The default plans are 8 weeks for the 5K run/walk goal, 8 weeks for a 10K just-finish goal, 10 weeks for a half marathon just-finish goal, and 16 weeks for a marathon just-finish goal. Target-time plans vary by distance and goal.

Available days help distribute running, demanding sessions, and recovery across the week. Rest days remain part of the schedule, and the plan should not manufacture extra mileage simply because more days are available.

No. Target-time plans include workout-specific pace guidance. Beginner run/walk and finish-focused plans emphasize time, distance, and conversational effort instead of forcing performance pace targets. You can use kilometres with min/km or miles with min/mile when you refine a plan.

Easy running makes the schedule more repeatable and leaves room to absorb the training. Faster work is included when it serves the distance and goal, but an easy day should stay comfortable even when it includes short relaxed strides.

Choose a more conservative plan or build consistency before taking on a more demanding target. A goal time should add useful specificity, not silently force an opening load that does not match your current training.

Yes. Preview the schedule first, then refine training load, units, pace guidance, and plan style before regenerating it. EzyRun treats the first plan as a starting schedule rather than something that must remain unchanged.

Do not cram missed sessions into the next week or combine demanding workouts. Resume conservatively, protect recovery, and adjust the plan when the interruption changes what you can safely manage.

Yes. On each plan you can mark workouts completed, partially completed, or skipped, then add optional effort ratings and notes. EzyRun records progress without automatically rescheduling future workouts.
