Helpful online tool

Hey Speed Sisters!

I wanted to share a tip with you. Tara, my running buddy, told me about this great training tool she found online. We are both training for the G.W. Parkway Classic in April (and then she is doing a half marathon in May), so we have been trying to work up our mileage on our own. I checked out this training tool and it really helped me to organize my training for the next 13 weeks.

So, here is the information. Go to the Runner's World website at www.runnersworld.com. Click on the training link. Scroll down on the left side of the screen and click on Smart Coach. Fill in all the fields (race distance, your pace, date of race, etc.) and it will design a mileage training program just for your pace and motivation level! I will start my training program on Monday. My running days will be Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. I plan to cross train on Tuesdays, and run my long distances on Saturdays.

Check out the link and let me know if it is helpful.

I will post opportunities for group long runs on the Montclair Striders group message page. Hopefully, we can start running together as a group.

Enjoy your weekend, and stay warm!!
Jenny
