New Year, New Running Goal
The new year is upon us, a time when most of us contemplate our goals. We resolve to eat better, get organized, maybe take on a fitness goal.
You may be thinking about running a 5k, 10k or even a marathon. How do you know where to start? Should you shoot for a marathon or a 5K? Well, that depends on several things. You need to be realistic about your current fitness level. You also need to determine when you want to acheive your goal. Are you hoping to run your first marathon in 4 months? 6 months? 8 months? You need to find a plan that is right for you. Finally, you need to implement the plan.
Sweat365 has training plans for beginning, intermediate and advanced runners. These plans vary in length depending on the event. Once you have chosen your goal race, then you’ll be able to pick your training plan.
Tracking your progress on Sweat365 is fun. You may discover others who are training for the same race. As you log your training, you’ll find encouragement from the community. The forums are also a great place to start discussions. Do you have questions about running? It’s likely that others either have the same questions or they may have some advice for you.
Good luck with your training! Happy New Year!
