Running Cycles

My most recent post about running after the 1/2 marathon spoke about a 6 week running plan, however, what I failed to mention was that during training you should increase your miles as well as do some periods of what is called "tapering" or reducing your number of miles.  Also, most running schedules are for a lot longer than 6 weeks, it was just merely an example if you wanted to see what some of my Saturday's look like.

The reason your running should be on cycles is to help you refrain from injury and change up what your body is doing.  Some of the best places to find advice on running schedules are listed below:
