## Overview

- **Who it's for**: Runners of any experience level, from beginners to advanced, training for a specific race distance (5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, or ultra) who want structured, personalized coaching instead of a generic plan.
- **What you get**: A training plan generated by Runna's coaching engine based on your goal, current fitness, and weekly availability, with workouts that sync to Garmin, Apple Watch, COROS, Fitbit, or Strava. Plans include added strength and mobility sessions, running form and injury-prevention guidance, and a race-time prediction. Access to in-app coach support and a runner community is also included.
- **How it works**: You sign up and complete a short assessment of your running level, goal race, and weekly training availability, after which the app generates a personalized plan. You then follow the daily workouts on your synced device, with the plan adjusting as you log progress.
