Besides running with a group, I am also incorporating Nike+. Nike+ is an interactive coaching/training system fo runners. It includes online forums, coaching guides, tips, running routes, etc. You can purchase the Nike+ Ipod Sports Kit for the Nano or download the new Nike+ GPS App for the iphone. Each measures and records the distance and pace of all your walks and runs. The best part is that you can choose a music playlist while running. The music will pause and a voice comes on telling you how many miles you have run and what pace you are running the distance you have picked.
The Nike+ website's coaching link includes different races around the country. There is a training guide specifically for the 2011 NYC ING Marathon. It's such a great tool and guide to keep me on the right track.
I find my interactive coach to be super helpful and supportive!
Hey there, I was training with this nike program but then nike got rid of the coach... ugh.. Do you, by any chance, have the program saved?
