How to properly set up Campus?

Campus is a fully personalized training platform that takes into account who you are, your experience, and your goals to create the most suitable training program possible.

How to define your reference distance and time?



What we need is a time for 5K, 10K, or 21K that best reflects your current fitness level. Please don’t provide a personal record from three years ago (unless it truly still reflects your current level). This reference time can be updated at any time.

If you’ve raced in the past few months, that’s easy—just use that time.

If not, give an estimate of what you believe you're capable of, or do a 5K time trial at full effort!


Be honest about any pain or injuries you've experienced



When we ask if you're injury-prone or tend to get hurt easily, it's so we can offer you a more or less intense plan. Don’t fall into the trap of choosing a harder plan by withholding information. Injuries are the number one enemy of a runner’s progress.

A few clarifications on the types of injuries we're referring to:


Minor injury: Pain that bothered you during the season or forced you to stop for a few days (< 1 week) without major impact on your training

Major injury: Severe pain/injury that made you stop training for a significant period (> 1 week)

How many times can you train per week?



Here, we're trying to better understand you in order to generate a training plan that fits your needs! However, depending on your goals and fitness level, the number of weekly training sessions suggested may not always match your initial preference. Don’t worry—there’s no mistake in your program!

The total number of weekly sessions is based on your current level, the weekly mileage you selected, and your chosen training mode: fun / mixed / performance. These settings can be changed anytime in your Campus account preferences.

Fun mode: 3 sessions/week

Mixed mode: 3 to 4 sessions/week

Performance mode: 4 to 5 sessions/week
