Getting Started in Training for Running Events

Posted by Dan on May 21st 2007 to Training

Not everyone has the same goals when it comes to fitness and exercise. Some people are trying to pack on muscle and be a body builder. Others just want to be in really good shape. Others are more interested in competing in events like marathons, triathlons, etc. Whatever your goal is, we hope that you’ll be able to find some information that will be beneficial here on BodyFitnessInfo.com.

Today we’d like to talk a little bit to those of you that are more interested in training for some type of running event. If you’ve been running for some time already, than this post probably isn’t for you. But for those of you that are just getting started in running and would like to know where to start, we hope you’ll find this to be a good resource.

The resource we’re referring to is the Couch to 5k Running Plan. This is a plan that was designed to take those that are just getting started in running and over a 9 week period get you ready for running in your first 5k event. One thing about running and really any other new exercise regiment is that if you work up to it you’re more likely to stick with it rather than running 5 miles your first day. Check the plan out and in 9 weeks you’ll feel much better about your running abilities!
