ShareMarathon Training Schedule
A Marathon Training Schedule can seem to be more challenging than the actual marathon. As challenging as your marathon training schedule may seem, keep this in mind; only 1% of the entire population of the world has seen the finish line of a marathon. And if you have never crossed the finish line of a marathon, you are about to become one of the 1%.
My marathon training schedule is for beginner runners to seasoned veterans. It is actually a modification of my 50 Mile Training Plan with tempo runs,

ShareWhat are Shin Splints?
What are shin splints is a question that I get asked often. Shin splints commonly refers to the pain in the front interior of your lower legs. The medical term for shin splints is Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS). Shin splints are usually know as an overuse injury. If you feel a throbbing in your shins during and/or after your workouts, you most likely are experiencing shin splints. If you let the shin splints go untreated you can inflame the shin splint symptoms and it can really ruin your training and

Running hill training is my second favorite training right behind speed training (note the sarcasms).

So if you are still reading about running hill training then you must be serious about improving your trail running performance and improving your fitness lifestyle. Let’s take a look at what you will need to do.

ShareYour Invisible Training Partner
Every runner runs with an invisible training partner. You can’t see him. You can’t hear him. You can feel him, though. Oh, how you can feel him. You can taste him, too. He tastes like blood and bile. He tastes like fear.
On those easy runs, on runs that you feel great; you can barely notice him. But you never escape him. You never drop him. He’s always there, and he’s out to get you. He wants to hurt you. He wants to hurt you bad. And sooner or later, on

ShareSigns of Overtraining
Signs of Overtraining are usually there but we tend to ignore them because the hardest part of being an athlete is NOT training. However, it is very important that you know the signs of overtraining before you are forced down from getting sick, injured, or both. Too much overall stress on your body, and/or too much anaerobic exercise can put your whole training schedule behind and then you will have to “catch-up” to get back to where you were weeks ago.

ShareRunning Training Hours 2008 through December 2011
Running Training Weekly Hours
Briefly, the chart is based on how many minutes per week I run. I do not base my training on running specific distances.
Because of foot surgery that had went bad, I have been unable to run for the last three months. As of 12/5/2011 I am getting closure to being able to run again. I have been given the green-light to start biking as long as I take it easy.
