I'm looking to plan out all of my running sessions in advance for the next couple of months. I previously used google calendar to do this but it's not great for this kind of use; sessions would get lost amongst a load of other calendar notifications or be difficult to read due to cropping. Anyone use a good app/physical planner for this purpose that they can recommend?
Running calendar/planner recommendation?

I actually think Final Surge is great for this. The workout builder also kicks the workout (intervals/rest/etc) to my Garmin. I push everything from Final Surge to Strava for the social aspect, though I may be giving up on Strava given their rate hikes.

Ah nice, never heard of that. Having a look now, looks like it could be what I'm looking for, thanks!

I use a physical moleskin calendar/planner and it works well for me.
The front pages are a monthly calendar view (1 month per page) where I can pencil in races and block out several days/weeks of planned runs with some shorthand notation to fit in the smaller space.
Then the bulk of the planner is a weekly calendar view (1 week per page) where I can use the bigger space to write down what I actually did for each day, how it compared to what I had planned or why I might have deviated, any other note like how I felt or whatever, etc.
I personally like having the simple physical planner I can keep looking at and editing with pencil rather than yet another app or spreadsheet or whatever.

I do like the idea of a physical object to use as it's so much more immediate than checking apps..hmmm.. decisions decisions!

I've tried a few different apps and tools for planning out my running sessions in advance and really like using TrainAsONE. It's tailored specifically for training plans and schedules with features like weekly/monthly views, drag and drop run planning, training phases and peaks, etc.
The calendar layout makes it easy to visualize my different run types and distances at a glance for each day/week. And it integrates with Strava to pull in my actual workout data automatically.
I also like that it has a smartphone app so my running plan is accessible on the go. The free version has been great for my needs. Definitely recommend checking out TrainAsONE if you want a running-focused training calendar!

Also you can use Strava too.A 2024 calendar is simply a calendar that displays the days, weeks, and months of the year 2024. It would show the dates and possibly holidays and other special days throughout that year. If you're asking for specific details about the , such as how the days of the week line up with dates.This post was edited 10 minutes after it was posted.00

Hey, planning your running sessions ahead is a smart move! I had a similar issue with Google Calendar—it got cluttered fast. I switched to a dedicated app called RunKeeper which lets me schedule and track runs easily. For jotting down quick notes about my progress, I use —it's straightforward and keeps everything in one place. Finding the right tools really makes sticking to a routine much simpler for me.This post was edited 9 seconds after it was posted.00
