  • Intelligent weekly progression with adaptive fatigue control
  • Long-run architecture tailored to race demands
  • Quality session rotation to prevent stagnation
  • Optional tune-up race (Half/Marathon)
  • Pace zones (from 5K) or HR zones (HRR)

No account required · One-time purchase · Instant access
Plans start on a Monday. Pick any date — we’ll snap it back to the Monday of that week.
Race day is always included in the plan.
Distance changes weekly volume targets, long run caps, taper, and workout emphasis.
New=4 runs/wk • Mid=5 • Adv=6 (coach-default).
Enter what you can run now without getting wrecked. The plan ramps from here.
Auto uses New=4, Intermediate=5, Advanced=6. Choose 7 for daily running (advanced only recommended).
We avoid stacking hard days Tue/Wed/Thu by adjusting Wed (MLR) and Thu (Q2) based on your run frequency.
Half/Marathon only. Schedules a tune-up ~4 weeks out (Half) or ~5 weeks out (Marathon) with a lighter week and sharpened workouts.
A tune-up is a short race used to practice pacing and test fitness. It should leave you feeling sharp, not destroyed.
Use pace (from a recent 5K) or heart rate (HRR) to label workouts. The plan’s mileage progression is still based on your current weekly mileage.
Choose a metric and enter values to see zones.
Best estimate is a recent race or hard effort. This is used to label Easy/Tempo/Interval paces.
Zones are shown in your selected units. Mileage remains in miles.
We’ll build weekly mileage targets, long-run progression, taper + race week, and coach-style workouts based on your distance and experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this coaching?

No.

Race Vault is designed for athletes who want a smart, structured plan without ongoing coaching costs. If you want daily feedback and plan adjustments, a coach may be a better fit.

Is this beginner-friendly?

Yes.

You can generate a plan using either pace or heart rate, and the workouts scale based on your experience level and available training time.

Yes — with a time window.
