Training

We will answer the most frequent training questions

With Runnea Academy you can have an objective with its corresponding training plan active. Throughout the year you can start as many plans as you want, simultaneously or not. In addition to this, you can have a completely individualized diet plan to accompany your training with a diet prepared to give you the best results.

If you are a passionate runner that wants to complete one objective after the other that’s no problem, once you finish one training plan you can begin the next as quickly as you want. Don't forget that good rest is one of the best ways to train.

Don't worry, if you do not own a pulsometer you are equally welcome to the Runnea Academy family. However, the pulsometer, while not essential, is highly recommended because many of the exercises suggested in your training plans will be tracked at a certain pace per kilometer or at a specific volume of pulsations. If you want to buy a pulsometer at an accessible rate, be sure to check out the pulsometer section of our website.

Whether you have completed an objective or cancelled one, you can begin a new objective easily from your profile. You just need to click on DAR DE ALTA UN NUEVO PLAN from the MIS PLANES page on your account. After clicking said button, you just fill in your new objectives and in minutes you can enjoy your new plan to reach your new athletic goal.

If you are worried about your weekly training plan, know that you can easily modify it to fit your needs. All you need to do is access your weekly training on the app and select the adjustment icon (gear on the bottom right) and you can vary your training by day and change the number of days you want to train. The first time you make changes and save them, the alteration will be instant. If you do it a second time, it will increase or decrease the days of the week that you train the next week and forward.

At Runnea Academy we work on an individual basis so that every runner receives a training plan which matches their abilities. In order to do this, it is very important to know and keep your fitness status updated. This way we can achieve an individual following and have adequate progression to reach your goal and do it in the best moment for you.

To update your fitness status, you just need to enter the information from any tests you have completed or races that you have competed in. To do this, you need to configure your account by clicking DATOS DE LOS PLANES. It is also important to maintain this information relevant to your heart rate and the amount of exercise you perform, this way we can make the best and most detailed training plan for you.

In order to know your fitness status, we recommend you use your most recent run, and you can do that based on any distance. Logically, the projection of your time based on a small run will be altered on the day that you, for example, complete a marathon. Due to this, we recommend that you update your fitness state every four to five weeks and do it based on a test of no less than 3.000 meters. This is the only controlled way for your program to fluctuate with your fitness state.

A query thread is a space dedicated to maintaining completely private feedback between you and your trainer. It is a channel of direct communication to talk about topics related to training and diets. All the subscriptions, either 3 months, 6 months or annual have at least one consultation incorporated into the program where you can enjoy individual communication with a trainer.

Do not worry if you have exhausted your allotted consultations of your training plans. You can purchase as many packs of five consultations as you want, with each pack costing 9,95. This way you can have continual contact with your trainer and they can attend to you and your individual needs.

Si alguna vez no puedes completar los entrenamientos y tienes que elegir qué sesión hacer, intenta realizar el primer día de la semana. No obstante, si tu único día de entrenamiento, de la semana en curso, es el sábado o domingo, trata de hacer uno de los rodajes que te marca el plan, para que puedas comenzar sin una gran fatiga la próxima semana.

Es posible que la marca de tu estado de forma o último test no esté correctamente introducida. Consulta y actualiza los datos en tu perfil.

Por otra parte, es necesario recordar que en ocasiones los ritmos de trabajo son "bajos" para conseguir un objetivo concreto, la recuperación del organismo.

No ocurrirá nada negativo, la App de RUNNEA ACADEMY está desarrollada para hacer un seguimiento del porcentaje de tareas realizadas sobre el total. Esto no afectará a sesiones/semanas siguientes.

Sí, siempre y cuando tenga, el entrenamiento, un objetivo de regeneración. Por lo tanto deberemos hacer esta sesión a una intensidad baja y que no genere una fatiga añadida a nuestro organismo.

Races

Much like other runners, you are living in an atypical time and have seen how races that you were going to participate in and have trained for have been suspended or cancelled. Due to that reason, and because we understand the necessity for runners to feel the competitive spirit, our technicians have created a network of virtual races that allow for an online connection with thousands of runners across the world.
