Training Plans Guide

Create, customize, and follow a plan built around the race in front of you

Creating a plan

Open Plan Settings to tell Elite You the race, your current fitness, and the days you can train. Generation usually takes 1–2 minutes.

Training goals

Set your primary goal and target date. Plans cover 5K through marathon, including trail and ultra work that depends on vert and terrain.

Current fitness

Share weekly mileage and recent times so the plan starts from where you are, not a generic template.

Day preferences

Choose preferred days for tempo, intervals, long runs, and rest so the week fits your life.

Activity history

Connecting Strava or Garmin Connect is optional, but imported runs give the AI a clearer picture of your recent training.

Using the calendar

Your calendar shows planned sessions and completed activities from Strava or Garmin Connect on the same days.

  • • Click a session to edit type, distance, or details
  • • Drag sessions to another day when your week changes
  • • Compare completed Strava or Garmin Connect activities against the plan
  • • Mark sessions complete, or log a manual activity if you are not connected to a provider
