Building a hybrid week
Combine running, aerobic cross-training, strength and mobility in one week while keeping each kind of work visible on its own terms.
You can build one week around every kind of training you actually do, rather than keeping a running plan and the rest of your work in separate places.
Tell your coach which activities are fixed, how many runs you want, and which days need to stay light. It can author the week directly, whether or not you already have a plan, and it can move or swap non-running days later just as it can move a run.
Start with the fixed points
Name the sessions that cannot move first: a club run, a class, a regular swim, or the only day you can reach the gym. Then describe the running shape you want around them.
For example:
Ask your coach
- “Keep my Monday swim and Saturday long run, then add three other runs.”
- “I ride Wednesday and Sunday. Put strength where it will not crowd the hard run.”
The plan can hold several items on one date, and each is completed separately. Finishing a ride does not automatically complete a same-day run, and marking strength done does not complete the mobility work beside it.
Read each kind of work on its own terms
Running stays distance-based. Recorded aerobic cross-training is tracked by duration across the training block. Strength and mobility are mark-only and add zero to that aerobic total.
Those measures are shown alongside one another rather than collapsed into one made-up equivalent. A long ride does not become running miles, and a completed lifting session does not become aerobic time. This keeps the week honest while still showing the work you did.
Adjust the week when life changes
Ask your coach to move, swap or replace a day and say what constraint changed. Moving the planned item keeps its identity in the plan. If you manually marked a non-running day complete, it can move to another past or present date with that mark; reset the mark before moving it into the future.
The plan can be mixed without pretending every sport is coached
AgentRunCoach schedules the whole week but prescribes and scores the running. Cross-training, strength and mobility remain visible as planned work without a sport-specific workout or an invented grade.
Ask your coach
“Build me a week with four runs, two rides and two strength sessions.”
“Keep my Monday swim and Saturday long run, then arrange the rest around them.”
“Move my strength day so it is not beside Thursday's hard run.”

- Cross-training in your plan — Add cycling, swimming, rowing, climbing and other aerobic work to your plan, then see what you completed without turning it into running mileage.
- Strength and mobility — Schedule lifting, yoga, Pilates, stretching and mobility work while keeping them separate from aerobic load and running scores.
- How non-running work counts — Cycling, swimming, lifting and yoga all belong in your plan — but they are counted in different ways, and some are not counted at all.
- Changing a session — Change one part of a planned session, move it to another day, or swap two sessions without rebuilding either workout.
