MyTrainingDesk

A training plan built around your goal

A first 10 km, a faster half-marathon, a marathon or a trail race: set your goal and MyTrainingDesk lays out the weeks to get there, with the hours and the mix of easy and hard for each one. The calendar shows every week against its plan, and the coach plans your sessions to it.

The annual training plan: target hours for every week coloured by phase, from Preparation to the race, with the races marked and this week highlighted
In the app: the annual plan: each week's target hours by phase, the races, and where this week stands. Demo account, made-up data.

Built backwards from your goal

Add your races and mark the one that matters most as your A race; the others become B or C races. The season is laid out backwards from it: Preparation, Base 1 to 3, Build 1 and 2, Peak, Race and Transition, each block a few weeks long.

To build it, the coach asks about your goal, your other races, the time you have each week, your background and any injuries. It proposes starting and peak hours and a three- or four-week cycle; you look it over and build the season in one click.

A season laid out backwards from the A race Weekly hours rise through Base 1 to 3 and Build 1 and 2, each block ending with an easier week, then Peak, a taper and race day. Base 1Base 2Base 3 Build 1Build 2Peak RaceA race
Each block a little bigger than the last, an easier week to close it.

Every week has its numbers

Each week of the plan holds its target hours, its phase and week in the block, its strength phase (adaptation, maximum strength or maintenance), what to work on, and your notes. Each phase has its own mix of easy, moderate and hard training, so a Base week and a Build week don't just differ in hours.

Change a week and the plan stays yours: you can edit any week by hand, or ask the coach to rework a block.

The calendar follows the plan

Every week in the calendar shows what's done and what's still planned against the plan's target, and each session is marked on plan, partly done, missed or off plan once your watch syncs. Drag a session to move it, hold Alt to copy it, or pull a workout in from your library.

Strength sessions count in the week's hours, so a week with two strength sessions isn't quietly heavier than the plan says.
