GET RUNNING TRAINING SCHEDULE

26/2/2013

 
Picture
​It seems that my fire story has lit a few fires under some want to be runners.  In happy response, I’m posting a general Get Running Training Schedule to get you started.  Prerequisites for learning to run is that you can walk pain free for 30 minutes without shortness of breath, have some good fitting running shoes (debatable if you’ve read Christopher McDougall’s fascinating book “Born to Run”), and you are ready for some committed fun.  The goal of this eight week training schedule is to get you to a point where you can run 30 minutes comfortably, not to set any world records.
