I noticed that in my custom plan, all my runs are "endurance."  this didn't matter to me when I was going to local coached track workouts, but now I am looking for my own speed workouts. Why aren't any of the runs speed work sets? Are there non-custom plans that include speed work? Thanks!

It depends, what level did you choose and how many weeks was the plan?

I did the gold-level custom plan, so I didn't actually have to pick a plan, but if I go to my profile and look up my current plan, it says intermediate sprint (although I'm pretty sure I told it that I was training for Oly distance).  I looked up some silver level plans and did see speed workouts for runs.  I've also input that I'm not a beginner into the custom questionnaire...

Thanks!

I just checked your calendar, you have two races one this month one next, what I am assuming is that you had plan dates less than 8 weeks?  If it's this short, we don't include speed workouts as we can't cycle you through base, build1, build2 phases or assume that you are ready to hop into speed workouts.  For speed workouts you need a plan at least 12 weeks long that way we get at least 4 weeks of 'base' before we take you through one month of 'build' then the peak/taper.
