The first Running Training Plan downloadable schedule.

We’ve now uploaded our first free training plan to the main site on the downloadable training plans page.

It is a plan for absolute beginners — those who want to start running. Suitable for people who would like to lose a bit of weight or just to get a little fitter and more healthy. It’s an 8 week program, turning the non-runner to someone who can run 5k (or just over 3 miles) without stopping.

Obviously, once a non-runner completes this program there is no going back. Eight weeks is plenty of time to get used to all the benefits that running offers, and also just about enough time to develop the healthy running addiction that we incurables enjoy.

More will follow, feel free to make a suggestions (via a comment) to any specific schedule you’d like to see made available.
