Frequently asked questions

Is AiTrainingPlan a free alternative to Runna?
AiTrainingPlan is in private alpha — you can join the waitlist now and access core training plans for free during the beta. Unlike Runna, the AI coach builds a personalized plan from your existing wearable data without a monthly subscription requirement during the launch period.
Can I import my data from Runna into AiTrainingPlan?
Yes. AiTrainingPlan reads FIT files exported from Runna or connected through Garmin Connect, Strava, and intervals.icu, so you don't lose history when you switch. Recent workouts feed straight into the adaptive plan — recovery state, training load, and fitness trends are picked up from day one.
How does AiTrainingPlan's AI coaching differ from Runna?
Runna focuses on tracking and presenting data; AiTrainingPlan turns the same data into a weekly plan that adjusts day-by-day. The AI weighs recovery readiness, recent load, and your target event to decide today's workout — including pacing zones, fueling, and recovery, not just "go run."
Do I need to cancel my Runna subscription to use AiTrainingPlan?
No. AiTrainingPlan complements Runna rather than replacing it. Many athletes keep using Runna for live tracking on the watch and import the resulting FIT files into AiTrainingPlan for the coaching layer. There is no exclusivity requirement and no platform lock-in.
