Wanting to Go that Extra Mile?
Are you wanting to take the next step and challenge your body a little more? Good for you! Below are a few training tools for your first 5K run or half marathon.
Build a Base. New runners often mistake the 12 or 14-week marathon training plans to take them from the couch to the finish line. However, most don't realize that these 12, 14, and 16-week training plans are for runners who have already built a weekly running base of at least 15-20 miles. If you jump into these intense workouts before your body is prepared, you put your body at high risk for injury.
