We all have days where the scheduled workout just doesn't match how we're feeling, or life throws a curveball into your plans. That's exactly why we built workout shuffling, one of our most commonly requested features!
Workout shuffling lets you swap today's scheduled workout for a different one, if you'd rather do something else that day, without losing the structure and progression of your training plan.
Make sure you're on app version 1.23.0 onward to access this new feature.
What is workout shuffling?
Workout shuffling gives you the option to swap today's workout for an alternative from the same training category, so you can adjust what you do that day without disrupting the structure of your plan.
Why would I want to shuffle a workout?
Maybe today's session doesn't fit your mood, energy or schedule. Rather than skipping the workout altogether, shuffling lets you pick a different session within the same category, so you stay consistent with your training without being locked into one specific workout.
Can I shuffle every workout?
You can shuffle today's workout, with a few exceptions. The following workout types cannot be shuffled:
- Calibration workouts: these are used to measure your thresholds and need to stay fixed.
- Easy runs: these are intentionally kept at an easy intensity and aren't shuffled.
- Key sessions: these play a specific role in your training plan and are not eligible for shuffling.
Can I shuffle a workout on a day other than today?
Shuffling is only available for today's scheduled workout. You won't be able to shuffle upcoming or past sessions.
Will the shuffled workout be similar to my original one?
Yes - the workout you've shuffled to will always come from the same category as your original session, so the overall purpose and intensity of your training day stays consistent.
💡 Tip: Shuffling changes which specific workout you do, not the type of training you're doing that day.
Does shuffling affect my broader training plan?
No. Shuffling only swaps today's session. Your overall training plan and upcoming workouts stay exactly as they were.
Will I get a different workout every time I shuffle?
Not necessarily. In some cases, the first shuffle may return the same workout you started with.
Can I go back to my original workout after shuffling?
Yes. You can reset back to your original scheduled workout at any time.
