Anything that burns calories and has you...Hey Meg,<br /><br />Anything that burns calories and has you sore later is considered cross training in my book.<br /><br />To answer your question, I started out with Couch to 5k from day 1. But it looks like you're way beyond that. I was truly a couch potato. From there, I went to the One Hour Runner program. That consisted of 10 weeks of training, gradually going from 30min to 60min. At that point, I think I was able to run about 5mi in one stretch. Then after that, I started a half marathon training program. My intention wasn't to race, but to increase my mileage. I think I may have started with Smart Coach on Runner's World. But I completely disregard the speed, tempo, hills or whatever workouts RW (or any other plan) calls for. I just make sure I get the miles in. The more I run, the better I get at it (without all that additional stuff). <br /><br />I don't know how often you run, but when I started out, I never ran two days in a row. I always had a rest day in between. I do better on fresh legs. Also, pacing is a big part of my running. A lot of us tend to start out too fast. So when I run, I ask myself, "Can I maintain this pace for another 5 or 6 miles?" If the answer is no, I pull back. I make a conscious effort to negative split or at least keep a consistent pace. <br /><br />Anyway, I hope this helps somewhat. I hope you find a plan that works for you.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588595816491102595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417949662879541772.post-9858458091733742372009-07-21T08:25:45.375-07:002009-07-21T08:25:45.375-07:00Definitely counts as a workout!
