Training!

So you want to know how to train? Most programs are 5-9 weeks long, but they arn't all easy so I wanted to give us 12 weeks (Starting Sept 16th 2012). That way if you miss some days you dont need to feel guilty, or if you feel a week was to hard, and you want to repeat thats an option too!

There are many programs and guides out there so please check out a full list of onces people are using, if you have one you'd like to see on there just let me know!  Below are a few of the ones I am personally following!

APPS:
C25K -  This app helps you through 9 week training program, where each week they get increasingly harder to help you build cardio. Works great for tredmills or running outside as it is time based interevals and you can set your own pace!

Runkeeper - This app is great if you have GPS, it can help you track your route, different elevations, and gives you nice little updates on your pace as you go. Its just fun to see how you do, Great for outdoor runners!



Websites -
Sparkpeople - Great for tracking food and workouts to see where you stack up each day/week. Great for tracking and easy to use, but takes some dedication to log in an track everything. There is also an app to help you track from a phone/ipod.
Spark People as has 4 Great Training Programs for all Levels of Training. From Recliner to Runner, just Walking, Beginner Programs, as well as a more advanced program!
