About RunReady

What makes it different

• It starts from your current fitness, not your goal, using a recent hard effort and the Riegel formula.
• It is honest about goals. If a goal looks unrealistic for the time you have, it says so.
• It fits your schedule. You set how long you can run each day, and the plan works within those hours.
• It is transparent. Every rule is written out on How it works, so you can see why your plan looks the way it does.
• It is private. What you enter is processed in your browser and is not sent to us. See the privacy policy.

Who it is for

Healthy adult recreational runners, from first-time 5K runners to experienced marathoners, who want structure without a rigid one-size-fits-all grid.

An important note

RunReady is an educational planning tool, not a coach or a medical provider. It cannot account for injuries, health conditions or how your body responds from day to day. Use your plan as a starting point, listen to your body, and see a professional if something hurts.
