Guidance/Tips: For novice runners who wish a do-it-yourself program at your leisure.
- Run for short durations between 3 and 5 times per week according to schedule, with your long run days being the key to your training program.
- If your running shoes are giving you some problems, get some which fit and match your gait.
- Guide allows for a gradual increase to a comfortable load; your legs may need some conditioning at first.
- Yes, times are in minutes. The secret is to be regular and not beat yourself up.
- Wear a hat and cool shades. Keep well hydrated. It really helps.
- Gently stretch those calves and quads afterwards.
- Take along a friend and convince them to sign for CSPG, CSEG and the RoadRace as well.
