Runna Holiday Adjustment

My favorite new feature from Runna is the ability to tell the app when you’re on a holiday. I’m currently training for the First to Fast 5k in New York, but I also have a lot of work travel this season. And while that’s not technically a holiday, my ability to follow a strict routine is similarly affected. Being able to tell Runna that you need a temporary adjustment of the plan makes it so that I don’t have to skip workouts and guess at what I should do instead. I can guide Runna by telling it whether I want very little change to the routine, whether I want to still keep in a speed session that week, or whether I want to just run easy the entire time I’m away. I used this feature when I went to Italy to visit Diadora HQ for the Atomo Star launch event. When I returned, I felt like I had done a decent amount of maintenance work so that I was ready to get right back into speed sessions and a long run for a 75 mile week. This week, I’m off to Kenya to visit a pro training camp, and I’ll be telling Runna that I just want to do easy runs while I’m at altitude in Iten (if we can squeeze in a fartlek on the roads, that’ll be bonus). I’m looking forward to a week of good running that will again leave me in a position to resume quality sessions once I return to Crystal Lake.
