Build your macrocycle

A full plan from today to race day — or an 8/12-week block. Phases and weekly loading are generated automatically.

Plan runs from today to race day, ending in a taper.
~1-hour race effort. Comfortably hard, repeatable.
Days per week you can realistically run.
Suggests sessions/week — you can override below.
Quality sessions per phase

Choose how much quality work each phase carries. A 2nd quality session is always a controlled sub-threshold run — not a second hard day — so you build volume without the recovery cost and injury risk of two hard sessions. Adding one automatically trims each session's volume slightly to avoid a load spike.

Drag any session onto another day to reshuffle around family events. Changes stay on this week.
