Answer 1

Hello. I am a semi-professional Runner (I didnt make the olympics unfortunatly) and I am trying to help Americans become more fit.

I am currently working on a website on which you can submit your fitness information and I give you a personal Training program. The website is not up and running yet, so I currently am allowing people to email me their information and giving programs out that way. THIS IS FREE.

This is not a scam. I am not asking for any personal information. You dont even have to give me your real name. If you choose to get a personal training program, please email me:

Why do you want to become fit?

My program is based on the Lydiard System. If you are skeptical feel free to look him up.

you'll probably be ok just if you feel sore after runs ice yourself

Answer 3

It depends. If you're running more than 10 miles a week, get real running shoes.
