TRAINING TOTALS
Calendar-week versus rolling-week running totals
Two correct totals can disagree because their date windows differ. Read the start and end dates before looking for a missing run.
Define the boundaries
A calendar week follows a fixed weekly boundary. A rolling seven-day window moves with the review date. “This week” may contain only two completed days, while “last seven days” includes five days from the previous calendar week.
For the example below, a calendar week runs Monday through Sunday and the rolling window includes the review day. These are explicit example conventions; check the calendar and time-zone settings behind the app view you are reading.
Review the log on 10 February 2026
This illustrative log contains four runs. Assume they are the only running activities in the period.
| Date | Distance |
|---|---|
| Monday 2 February | 6 km |
| Thursday 5 February | 8 km |
| Sunday 8 February | 12 km |
| Tuesday 10 February | 5 km |
On Tuesday 10 February, the current Monday-to-Sunday week has 5 km so far. The previous completed week has 6 + 8 + 12 = 26 km. The trailing seven calendar dates, 4–10 February inclusive, contain 8 + 12 + 5 = 25 km. All three totals follow from the same four records.
Watch partial weeks and midnight
A partial current week should not be compared casually with a complete previous week. Display the date range or wait until both reporting windows are complete. A calendar-month total introduces another set of boundaries and is not simply four weekly totals.
Check the assigned activity date for runs near midnight, particularly after travel or an import. A timestamp interpreted in a different time zone can move an outing across a daily or weekly boundary. Investigate the source time before changing the distance to make the totals match.
Use the window that answers your question
In Runome, distinguish weekly distance summaries from rolling load views and the completed weeks used in Marathon Shape. A calendar week is useful for reviewing a schedule. A trailing window is useful for asking what has accumulated over a recent fixed span.
If matching windows still disagree, follow the missing-run checks. For a longer horizon, the eight-week volume example shows how completed weeks make a comparison easier to read. Put the window beside the number whenever you record a review.
