Training Schedules
Our training schedules are guides to your training. Make sure you consult your physician before you embark on any new and vigorous training. These programs are designed to prepare you for a marathon. The "2009 RNR" program is a 16-week walk program that includes cross training. The "First 26.2 Mile Journey" is designed for a first time marathoner, who has some base condition. Cross training may include yoga, hiking, pilates, weight lifting, spin cycling, bicycling.
Always make sure you warm up before exercise and cool down after you finish. Hydrate sufficiently especially if you are training in summer temperatures or extreme heat. During the summer we advise wearing a hat to shade your face, and to deflect some heat away from your body. Always wear sunscreen. In the winter, or cooler temperatures wear layers, so that you can remove one layer at a time once you are warmed up.
Finally, remember the SEE principle. Your body cannot become lean, mean fighting machines if you don't Sleep 7-8 hours a night, Eat a balanced diet and Exercise at least 1 hour on most days of the week.
Good luck with your training...see you on the course!
