Training Starts this Week!

Good luck starting your training this week.  If you are wearing regular athletic shoes that weren't fitted at a running store you may find that your training is much better with better shoes.  I'll try to post some information on doing that later this week but until then here is your 1st week schedule.

New Runners

Week 1:
Go to a local track because the distances are exact. Once on the track walk 1/2 lap, then jog 1/2 lap, walk a half, jog a half for 1 mile. You will alternate jogging & running 8 times (4 each) and complete 4 full laps, that's exactly 1 mile. Now no matter how good you feel, go home. Do this 4 to 6 days a week; never less than 4 days or more than 6 days weekly.

When you complete 4 full laps, that's exactly 1 mile, now no matter how good you feel, go home. Do this 4 to 6 days a week.

Never less than 4 days or more than 6 days weekly.

Experienced Runners
