Can anyone recommend a training program or a web site for me to follow for a spring race. (probably the wingnut)
And should I be running on Stockdale Road to get use to the hills. I live close to it so it's not difficult.
Thanks

The biggest help you will ever get is a coach.The Internet is fine but it is very cookie cutter,nothing like one on one help.I happen to know one that is a real pain in the *** but has help me do things that a normal person could never do (that was pretty nice considering she called me old yesterday)

Hi April,
Like Dennis said you can get programs off the internet...Runner's World will put a basic program together for you for free. It is exactly as Dennis wrote "Cookie Cutter" but I have known alot of people that have used them.
We also do programs out of the store. You can either just have a program done for you and we send you on your way or you can work with a coach if you have specific goals in mind.
I am also running a half marathon clinic out of the store starting on Jan 25. The goal race for this program is Mississauga, but we could do a variation.
If you go to the main page of this forum and go to Running Programs that will give you some pricing or call the store and we can help you.

Hi Guys and Gals
Please tell me more about a trainer as well. Patti am I ready to train for half marathon or should I still be taking it easy with my foot etc.
I really would like to know more. I will call tomorrow.

I have always like Hal Higdon's plans...he has one for all levels and they've always worked for me.

Thanks for the info.
Patti, I'll be in the store next week. I have a few questions about your session.

On a different sort of note, but hopefully topic related ...
Can anybody give me pointers on running/training with rheumatoid arthritis? Doctor's advice is exercise is good, but to what extent?
Although newly back into running (since January 1st), I was a regular runner years ago in high school / college and even completed a half marathon in the summer between grades 11 and 12. Now having completed the Pitter Patter last Sunday, I REALLY have the itch to go farther and just don't want to end up doing harm and not being able to run at all.
Just thought maybe there were some runners out there in a similar situation!

It isn't if you finish first. It isn't if you finish last. It's that you finish the race.

The basic thought is that exercise will not make arthritis better or worse so to participate when you are not painful and give yourself a break when you are.

So ... slowly building up my distance isn't going to do any long term harm?

That's what the research says. No more than 10% a week and if you find that too much, build a little slower.
