Nothing like a good run to refresh and re-invigorate your enthusiasm for running. To help you keep the momentum as you get ready for the fall race season, here are a few of our favorite running relate websites!
Map My Run, a great site that utilizes Google maps to allow you to create, map and share your favorite running routes. You can view routes as Maps, Satellite Images, or a Hybrid of both. In addition to the maps, Map My Run also has a really cool Training Log and community message board!
The Furman University Training Program advocates fewer miles in exchange for higher quality workouts. The Furman First Marathon Training Program is the basis for a new book from Runners World magazine. Basically, each week you have three key workouts, a fartlek or track session, a tempo session, and a fairly brisk "Long Slow Run" based on your Predicted Marathon Pace. Swimmers are familiar with the phenomena of "Garbage Yardage", many runners may very well be putting in "Garbage Mileage" and would benefit greatly by reducing the frequency of workouts and increasing the tempo of the remaining workouts.
Well, there is a teaser for you! Now get out and run!
