How to plan your race year.
Not just the next one.

To plan your race year, pick one peak race, add tune-ups around it, fill the weeks between events, and train from one connected plan. Dangelo's Race Calendar does this for every race you add: goal races, tune-ups, and the gaps in between.

  1. Pick your peak race

    Choose the A-race: the date and distance you want to be fittest for. Everything else on the calendar should serve this, not compete with it.

  2. Place your tune-ups

    Add earlier or shorter races you race through rather than peak for. Use them as workouts that help the A-race.

  3. Bridge the gaps

    When races sit more than a couple of weeks apart, keep training in the middle. A bridging plan recovers, then builds you into the next block.

  4. Train from one plan

    One calendar, one progression. Dangelo joins the blocks and adapts from your Garmin and Coros data, so you don't restart after every finish.

Add every race you're running this year: goal races, tune-ups, the lot. Dangelo builds one connected training plan around all of them, bridges the gaps in between, and keeps adapting as you train.

Dangelo Race Calendar: race list, connected training plan, and workout detail

One calendar. Your whole season.

Every race in one place

Add all your races for the year: goal races, tune-up events, everything. Dangelo works out which are your peak events and which are training races, then builds one connected training year around all of them.

No more guessing between races

When there's time between races, Dangelo doesn't go quiet. It generates a bridging plan that maintains and builds your fitness until the next training block starts, so you always know what to do next.

Adapts to how you actually train

Using completed workout data synced from your Garmin and Coros device, Dangelo adjusts your training paces and intensity based on what you're actually achieving, not what a generic template assumes.

Between races, connect the plans.

When two races sit more than a couple of weeks apart, Dangelo fills the gap with a bridging plan. You recover from the last race, then build enough volume to open the next block. The year stays one plan instead of a stack of disconnected cycles.

How it works.

  1. Add your races

    Drop in every event you're targeting this year, with each race's date and distance.

  2. Get one connected plan

    Dangelo builds your full year: training blocks, tune-ups, and bridging weeks all joined up.

  3. Train and sync

    Push workouts to your watch, run them, and let your synced data keep the plan honest.

FAQs.

How do I plan my race year?

Start with one peak race, the event you want to be fittest for. Add other races as tune-ups if they help that peak. Then fill the weeks between events so you keep training instead of starting over. Dangelo's Race Calendar turns that list into one connected plan.

How do I train for multiple races in one year?

Treat most of them as training. One or two should be goal races; the rest are tune-ups you race through. Put every race on one calendar so volume, recovery, and the next build line up. Separate plans for each race leave you restarting every time you finish.

What should I do between races?

Recover, then keep enough running in to open the next block. If the gap is more than about two weeks, you need a bridging plan: easier first, then volume back up toward the next training cycle. Dangelo generates that bridge when you have races on the calendar.

What is the difference between a goal race and a tune-up?

A goal race is the one you taper for and want a result at. A tune-up is an event you use as a workout: shorter, earlier, or both. You still race it, but you don't reset your training around it. Dangelo treats target races and training races differently when it builds the year.
