# Schedule a workout once or repeatedly

Make room for one workout or a regular training day. Open **Plan**, choose
today or a future date, then use **Add > Schedule Workout** to build a workout
and choose **Once** or **Repeat** before adding it to a training plan.

## Choose a date inside an active plan

You need an active training plan that includes the selected date. The date
must be today or later; a paused plan cannot receive the workout.

If **Schedule Unavailable** appears, choose a date inside an active plan.
If you need a new training plan, **Add Plan** is available in the same
**Add** menu.

## Set the workout's cadence

### Build the workout

1. Open **Plan**.
2. Select today or a future date.
3. Open **Add**.
4. Select **Schedule Workout**.
5. If several plans include the date, choose the training plan.
6. Select the activity.
7. Configure the workout in its builder.
8. Tap **Review Workout**.
9. Check **Plan** in the review. Use its menu if you want another eligible
   active plan.
10. Open **Schedule**.

Choose **Once** or **Repeat** below, then add the schedule.

### Schedule it once

1. Select **Once**.
2. Choose **Workout date**.

### Repeat it on selected weekdays

1. Select **Repeat**.
2. Select at least one weekday.
3. Choose **Frequency**, from **Every Week** through **Every 4 Weeks**.
4. Choose **Starts**. The first workout falls on a selected weekday on or
   after this date.
5. Choose **Ends**:
   - **End of Plan** follows a training plan's end date.
   - **No End** is available for an ongoing training plan.
   - **On a Date** lets you choose an ending.
6. If you chose **On a Date**, set **End Date**.

### Add the schedule

1. Return to the workout review.
2. Check the receiving plan and schedule.
3. Tap **Add Run**, **Add Ride**, **Add Swim**, or **Add Strength**, depending
   on the activity.

## Find the workout on its dates

After a successful addition, Momentum saves the schedule, closes the review,
and shows confirmation. The scheduled workouts appear on their dates in
**Plan**.

The schedule series supplies the pattern; each scheduled workout is one
dated occurrence. Adding either does not start a workout or record completion.

## Keep repetition within the plan

The workout dates must stay inside the receiving training plan. Check them
again if you change **Plan**, because they can adjust to fit its dates.
For **No End**, Momentum adds upcoming dates over time rather than saving
every future workout at once.

If no dates qualify, adjust the weekdays, start, or ending. If **Couldn't Add
Workout** appears, follow the reason in the alert: reopen scheduling when the
plan has changed, or shorten the schedule or simplify the workout when it is
too large.

## Build the workout and follow the week

- [Build a strength workout](../workouts/build-strength-workout.md) to set up the work before scheduling it.
- [Use the weekly Plan calendar](./use-weekly-calendar.md) to find each date.
- [Understand Momentum's training structure](../concepts/training-structure.md) to distinguish a schedule series from recorded training.
