Guide to training from Beginner to Advanced

ecoli

Looking at all the requests for training advice got me thinking there should be an individual stickied thread for training from everything for complete beginner to specific aspects of training such as drills plyometrics. The idea is that here we can come up with a comprehensive list that we can refine which can be stickied to help all Boardies so here goes

Good idea.

I'd also mention the couch to 5k podcasts by Robert Ullrey - it's the couch25k programme, with music in the background and a guy telling you when to run, when to walk. A very easy way of following the programme, you don't need to keep track of times or distances yourself.

And should talk about the importance of getting decent shoes, and where you can get gait analysis done.

Bump just in case it was missed by a few as it soon fell to page two with new threads

I think Matt Fitzgearld book racing weight would be a good one for the more competitive runner
