training for 1/2 marathon

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 01:41:36 GMT

Hello,

I just started training for a half marathon that I will be running on January 17. The running is going okay so far, but I am looking for suggestions about strength training. What kind of strength exercises would you recommend? Should I lift weights? do plyometrics? use body weight for strength exercises? I really have no clue. Also, is it bad to train on a tredmill or should I only be running outside or around a track? Thanks for your thoughts!

Best MP3 Player/IPod for Runners?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:54:47 GMT

I started running consistently this past summer (2-3 times a week) and have been running without a mp3 player. However, I'm thinking of trying to run with music. Might get me through some of my longer runs.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good mp3 players for runners?

Thanks.

Running in the winter for a beginner?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 00:33:34 GMT

Hello!

I am one of those people who loves the idea of being a runner much more than actually running.. and I have finally made the decision to start training and trying to become someone who loves running as much as the idea of it

Problem is, living in Minnesota is not the most weather friendly running location. I know I'll be doing the majority of my running on the treadmill. I'm looking for ideas to make running on a treadmill more interesting, especially for someone who has a very weak mental state when it comes to staying motivated.

Any ideas welcome!! Thank you!
