Ready, Set, Go!
The moment you’ve all been waiting for . . . time to dust off the sneakers and get outside (or on a treadmill). Here are the week one training schedules for our six-week training programs. Borrowed these courtesy of the experts at Runner’s World. All you need is a watch to keep your time and a water bottle handy — Good Luck and keep us posted!

Other than the C25K program that I started, this seems like a good program for a beginning runner. I’ve bookmarked the site for later reference.
