Marathon Woman ®

This is going to be an incredible year!
It's the 40th anniversary of women being 'allowed' to run the Boston Marathon, the 40th of Title IX, the 40th of the first ever women's road race.....and the 45th of my first running Boston. PBS is doing a great documentary called MAKERS: Women Who Make America; it will be shown in 2013 but a preview of my interview is available here. Click here, or click on the photo, and check out the site of some truly amazing women. www.makers.com

A Walking and Running program for all abilities.

Our objective is to get women to the starting line of fitness. Regardless of your age or ability we aim to create opportunities in walking and running around the world.
Whether you want to begin a program for fitness, lose weight, reduce stress, increase your cardiovascular health or become a competitive athlete, running is the activity that will help you reach your goal.




First you have to get started.

A Walking Program: A step-by-step approach to a new way of living.

A Running Program: Making the most of your running.

As with all exercise programs, please consult your doctor before starting.

Tips

  • Patience provides the best results. Don't be discouraged if your progress seems slow. We all want immediate results, but we need to be patient. This is all new to your body, even if you've been active in the past. It is far more important to build a strong, healthy base -- even if it takes longer -- than it is to progress too quickly and risk being discouraged or injured.
  • As with everything, start in moderation. It's not necessary (even discouraged) to walk or run every day as a beginner. And don't go too far, too fast.
  • If you miss a workout, don't feel guilty. We're all human. Just start again as soon as possible. If you miss many days, you may need to start again at a gradual pace.

  • Keep a training log. Keep a record of how far you went, how you felt before and after, weather and things you noticed along the way.

For more details on walking & running, for some of my personal anecdotes, tips and stories, for clothing guidelines, I encourage you to buy my book.
