While researching my "adventures in marathoning" I have come across a huge amount of websites offering tips for novice runners and training schedules for people who don't know anything about running. Since I'm going to chalk myself up as one of those, I have to say that these resources make it next to impossible to come up with any excuse whatsoever to not start running.
The best resources so far are:
nike.com - great training log to log daily runs and cross-training
http://www.jeffgalloway.com/training/5k.html - good training schedules
http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_4/144.shtml - good schedules and advice
What I have learned from all this reading is that the most important thing when starting to train for any running distance, is planning your strategy and making a schedule. I have to learn how to run 21.5 km in 21 weeks. So I've mapped out a fool proof training schedule that has me running 10 by next week.....okay wait...that is SO not realistic. I think I'll have to go back to the drawing board!!!
