Customizing my Stryd Plan

A Stryd user asks "I am currently running about 25miles per week or run an RSS of 200-250 per week. I want to now train for a marathon (race is Dec. 3rd. 2022) so I created a training plan in the stryd app. The plan started but the intensity is overall very low (RSS 42) with very short runs of about 20min. This is way below my capability right now. Is there a way to adjust the plan to it 'picks me up' at my current level? Or would I have to select a completely different plan for that (I know there is one where mileage can be adjusted)."

  Maybe your auto-CP is too low. This can happen when do not hard workout between 20 and 50 minutes

  If you’re not training for a race that is any time soon, then you should probably try the Base Fitness plan first. I’ve used it and it was a good bridge between race cycles.

  You could always go through two shorter training cycles instead of one long and slow increase in training volume

  If it were me, I’d use my own judgment to increase the length on easier days to maintain my aerobic base early in the plan. Early in the plan, it’s probably best not to increase the intensity of the actual workouts so you don’t risk overtraining or burnout later on.

  Forget about Stryd plans, they are useless

  ejej I disagree. High volume, low intensity is a great strategy
