As people look for ways to unplug and touch grass, running-related searches are spiking: Searches like “run club,” “how to choose running shoes,” and “how to train for a marathon” have reached all-time highs this year.

Running a race requires grit, strength, and (a surprising amount of) organization. Fortunately, Search’s AI features make it easier than ever to get your race plan together. Here are three ways Search can help you make it across the finish line.

1. Create a training plan that’s specific to you and your neighborhood.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned runner with over a dozen races under your belt, having the right training plan is key to finishing the race. AI Mode in Search can help you map out your strategy and develop a detailed plan. Select the Canvas tool from the plus (+) menu and ask it to build a schedule for you, recommending cross-training and strength-building strategies. You can also discover fresh perspectives from sites and creators across the web. Try asking, “Help me make a sub 4.5hr training plan for the Texas Marathon with different routes I can run around Montrose. I'm currently running 4x a week with my longest run typically being 7-9 miles.”

2. Fuel your run with custom playlists.

Now that you’ve selected your race and have a plan in place, it’s time to hit the road. As many runners are well aware, when it comes to race training — especially for longer distances — mental endurance is as important as physical endurance. Finding ways to cope with the boredom and stay energized during a long run is crucial. If you choose to connect your YouTube Music account with Search, you can ask AI Mode to help create a custom playlist for your run so you can stay motivated and listen to your favorite artists on the go.

3. Discover the right gear to keep moving.

Sometimes going the distance comes down to having the right shoes and running gear, but it can be difficult to narrow down your choices. Search can make race-prep shopping a lot easier, allowing you to search for products that address your constraints — like road shoes for wide feet, lightweight hydration vests under $80, or anti-chafing apparel. Using Google’s Shopping Graph of over 60 billion product listings, Search can show you tailored recommendations, side-by-side comparisons of in-stock options, and even local availability, helping you find the exact gear you need to race with confidence.
