Closer Look | Adaptive Training Builds Around Your Available Time with Peak Weekly Duration
Our new Adaptive Training system includes a powerful feature that ensures your training plan always respects the time you have available: Peak Weekly Duration.
This feature lets you tell Adaptive Training exactly how much time you can dedicate to running each week.
The best part? Your training adapts immediately every time you make an adjustment, so your plan always matches your current reality.
What Setting Your Peak Weekly Duration Does
Peak Weekly Duration allows you to set the exact maximum training volume you can handle in a given week, down to the hour and minute. When you configure this setting during Adaptive Training setup, the system uses this information to build a plan that never asks more from your training than you can give.
Think of it as your training guardrail. Whether you have six hours per week or twelve, Adaptive Training structures your workouts, long runs, and easy runs to fit comfortably within that window. The system considers this constraint alongside your fitness level, training phase, and weekly structure to create a balanced plan that progresses your fitness without overextending your schedule.
How It Works
The flexibility of Peak Weekly Duration shines when your life changes. Less time to train? Update your Peak Weekly Duration to reflect your reduced availability, and Adaptive More time to train? Increase your available time, and the system responds by building more comprehensive training sessions.
Peak Weekly Duration helps you avoid the common trap of overcommitting to a training plan. When you're able to set your available time from the start, Adaptive Training builds a plan you can actually complete. This means better consistency, less guilt about missed workouts, and more sustainable long-term progress.
Your Training Adjusts When You Do
Every time you update your Peak Weekly Duration, Adaptive Training recalculates your plan to match. There's no waiting period, no manual adjustments needed, and no complicated changes on your end. The system immediately reorganizes your upcoming workouts to honor your new constraints while maintaining the training stimulus you need for improvement.
