Training plans that adapt to how you actually run
Most training plans are a PDF that never changes. RunScene builds yours from the runs you have already done, then adjusts it every week based on how hard the sessions felt.
Built from your running, not a template
Before it writes a single session, RunScene looks at what you have actually been doing: your weekly mileage over the last month, your longest run, how often you run, and your fastest recent efforts.
That matters because the same 10K plan is wrong for someone running 5 km a week and someone running 40. Your plan starts from your real starting point and builds at a rate your body can absorb — the ten per cent rule is structural, not advice.
Tell it a time, or just tell it you want to finish
Pick your race — 5K, 10K, half marathon or marathon — then choose whether you are chasing a specific time or simply want to get round.
They are genuinely different plans. Finishing a first 10K is a volume problem, so the plan builds distance and keeps intensity low. Running a fast one is an intensity problem, so it brings in tempo work and goal-pace sessions earlier. Tell it 48 minutes and every pace in the plan is anchored to that, not to where you are today.
An honest answer about whether your goal is realistic
When you set a target, RunScene tells you what your current form actually predicts, using the same race-time model coaches use, and where the gap is.
It judges four things separately: whether you have run anything near the distance, whether your weekly mileage supports the race, whether there are enough weeks to build safely, and whether the pace is in range. A marathon when your longest run is 10 km is a distance problem, not a speed problem, and it says so. You can still go for it — but you will know what has to go right.
It changes as you go
After each session you rate how hard it felt out of ten. That single number is the only honest signal of whether a plan fits: two runners on identical plans can be coasting and drowning.
Rate a few sessions and the weeks ahead adjust — consistently easy and it builds faster, consistently brutal and it eases back before you get injured. Weeks you have already run never change. And if you cannot run on Tuesday, drag that session to Wednesday; the plan moves with you and so does the reminder.
What it costs
Your first week of training plans is free to everyone, no card required. After that they are part of Runner Pro, which also includes race time predictions, training load and your full running history. Finding clubs, joining runs, syncing workouts and leaderboards stay free forever.
Common questions
Are RunScene training plans free?
Your first week is completely free with no payment details required. After that, plans are part of Runner Pro, while club finding, run syncing and leaderboards remain free.
What race distances do the plans cover?
5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon, plus a general fitness option if you are not training for a race.
How many days a week will I have to run?
You choose — anywhere from two to six. RunScene suggests a number based on how often you already run, because the plan you will actually follow beats the plan that looks best.
Can I set a goal finish time?
Yes. Set a target and every pace in the plan is built around it, with goal-pace sessions in the middle of the block. You will also be told honestly how that target compares with your current form.
What if I miss a session or a whole week?
Nothing breaks. Move sessions between days by dragging them, and rebuild the remaining weeks around where you actually are whenever you want.
Do the plans include intervals and tempo runs?
Yes. Sessions progress through the block — shorter reps early, longer intervals and continuous tempo work later, and a light sharpener in race week. Every session explains what it is for and how to run it.
