Fitness Magazine Motivates Runners With Half Marathon Training Schedule and Marathon Training Schedule

NEW YORK, Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- With the Boston Marathon just around the corner and spring fast approaching, runners are becoming inspired to break out their running shoes, hit the trail and train to reach the next level. To make sure women runners begin cautiously and train without injury, Fitness Magazine and FitnessMagazine.com have developed a half-marathon training schedule and a marathon training schedule to suit all levels of runners.

"Whether women runners are ready to compete in a half-marathon or full marathon, we think they will find our training programs valuable," said Stephanie Jones Wagle, Site Director for FitnessMagazine.com. "Coming up with the right half- or full-marathon training schedule can be very tricky because people generally start their training too aggressively. Women who have used our running schedules have done very well in races and avoided common injuries while training."

When making the decision to participate in a marathon or half-marathon, FitnessMagazine.com invites new and experienced runners to check out the marathon plans and training schedules site that contains everything from running schedules and strength-building exercises to motivating cardio playlists and the best recipes to fuel your runs.

For someone running their first half-marathon, FitnessMagazine.com recommends their half-marathon training plan for beginners. The plan includes everything a new runner needs to train for a half-marathon in just eight weeks, with an easy-does-it running schedule by running coach Andrew Kastor, who developed programs for the New York Road Runners club. The 8-week training schedule starts out slowly and is best for runners who can run at least two miles, even if it's at a slow pace. Once they sign up, runners receive weekly running schedules, meal suggestions, and motivational tips from running experts to keep them on track.

For more experienced runners, FitnessMaganize.com provides a half-marathon training plan for intermediate/advanced runners. This 8-week training schedule is ideal for runners who can run at least four miles at a steady pace and who are looking for a challenge beyond the 10K race. The training program, which mixes intervals into mileage and helps runners increase their speed, also includes motivational tips and nutrition recommendations.

For someone wishing to train for a longer amount of time, FitnessMagazine.com also offers a comprehensive 16-week training course that provides both half-and full-marathon training plans.
