hello,

setting a time goal does not improve your performance, but excercise will, that's the reason, why there is no time goal field.

your current training status will lead to a proposition of a plan, that let's you train at the very right level. But you can increase the number of units (don't increase too  much too soon). A 10k race or testrun every other month will give you feedback whether you are improving, then you can adjust your training status and will have harder/faster units. It's worth to stick to the plan.

good luck, Stefan

Hi Guys,

How do running.COACH manage the time goal of the targeted race?

On my side, the time for a race is greyed and just set automatically to almost the same as what I set in question 3 (What is your current fitness level?). Or even less...

My last half was 1:49:05

I subscribe to running.COACH to improve it.

How can I improve myself if I cannot set the time goal?

The time goal for my planned half marathon is set automatically to 01:50:01. Even slower than what I already achieved (1:49:05)!!!

Will it be moving depending on my trianing status? Or will it stick to the original time?

Or maybe, I'm missing a parameter....

Thanks
