Why athletes switch
The most common reasons
The most common reasons athletes move from Runna to HTP.
I lift as much as I run
Runna is built around running, with strength sessions added to your running plan. HTP plans both together from the start and keeps hard runs and heavy lifting days apart.
Training for Hyrox
Runna's Hyrox plan is a good fit if running is your weak spot. HTP's Hyrox plans put station work (SkiErg, sled push and pull, wall balls) into each week at the loads for your division.
A fraction of the price
In the UK Runna is £15.99 a month. HTP is £3.99, or £34.99 for the year, and rebuilds your plan every 2 weeks from what you trained. The first 30 days are free.
A fair word on Runna
Runna is a genuinely well-built product and an official HYROX training partner. If running is your focus, from 5K to marathon or the running half of a Hyrox, it's a strong choice with deep pacing features and a polished app. HTP is for athletes who want their strength planned as seriously as their runs.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Hybrid Training Plan a Runna alternative?
Yes — particularly if you lift as well as run. HTP programmes running and strength together in one plan, for hybrid athletes and Hyrox racers. If you only run and want deep race-specific features, Runna is still solid.
Can I import my Runna history?
Not directly, but you can connect Strava and your previous runs will inform your plan generation.
Does HTP do running-only plans?
Not as a separate goal. HTP builds Hyrox and hybrid plans, so running always sits alongside some strength work. If you only want to run, Runna is the better fit.
Does Runna have a Hyrox plan?
Yes. Runna is an official HYROX training partner and its Hyrox plan combines running, strength and mobility, with running at the centre. HTP plans running and strength as equals and puts Hyrox station work into each week at the loads for your division.
How much does it cost vs Runna?
