A new semester means new goals and challenges. Just because it’s February, doesn’t mean you can start slacking on those New Year’s resolutions. Get up off the couch, out of the Commons and start running.
We love Runner’s World because it offers guidance for those who are lacing up their sneakers for the first time, all the way to those who are training for a marathon. One of the best features of the site is the Race Finder. The Race Finder allows you to type in your location, as well as desired race distances and dates and all local races will appear. This is a great way to set some goals for yourself, so that by the time the snow is completely melted, you will have an extra spring in your step and a race on the horizon.
If you’re still clueless or not feeling confident about your running abilities, the site also features tools such as Shoe Finder, which recommends the best type of shoes to wear based on your running ability, and SmartCoach, which creates a personalized training plan based on your goals and abilities
Feeling extra ambitious? Sign up for one of Runner’s World’s free daily email newsletters. These newsletters range from women’s running, nutrition/training and inspirational quotes. Now don’t let that snow scare you, go find some plowed sidewalks, get out, AND RUN!
