Freeletics Running Journeys are training plans focused on running to help you achieve your fitness goals. Each program is based on a careful progression of running volume and intensity to keep you advancing. Based on the initial assessment, the Coach will generate a plan according to your previous running experience and current fitness level. To track your runs you need to have a stable GPS signal, or you can manually log your times by clicking the + icon in the top right corner of the screen.
You will encounter three types of running workouts: continuous distance runs, interval runs, and God Workouts. In distance runs, you are asked to cover set distances such as 3km, 5km, or 10km at a comfortable pace. Interval runs are a mix of sprints and rest periods and will be assigned at three different paces: comfortable, moderate, or fast. When challenged with a God Workout, you are expected to run at maximum speed. Throughout each Journey the Coach will assign you less intense sessions on selected periods, to allow your muscles to recover while maintaining your fitness level.
Please note that you will not be assigned a Hell Week for the Freeletics Running Journeys.
If you are not able to run and still want to train, you have the option to replace your session with a bodyweight only workout using the Adapt session feature.
You can choose between four different Journeys depending on whether you want to focus on losing weight or on improving your speed and endurance. You have the option to select a running-only Journey or a combination of running and bodyweight.
