Training Manual

You have a training program on-line manual. Here you will find a wealth of information about your training. Topics include running injuries, cross training, biomechanics, and much more. The manual is fairly large but we have divided it up into small, easy-to-follow sections. You can print any page(s) at will. You will find a handy PDF print icon on the on-line training manual page. This allows you to print only what you require and nothing more. This is one step in Running Room's drive to lessen the volume of paper that we produce. This is in line with the Running Room's environmental initiative: As a responsible corporate citizen we intend to use less paper in everything we do. We feel strongly that this position is in line with the environmental concerns shared by our customers.

Training Schedules

Where do you start? How do you set up a training schedule? Here, you'll find a variety of training programs based upon your individual goals and levels of ability. This particular program requires that you key in a goal date, which can be an event, or even just a finish date for a program. We have updated the on-line training program to include a new PDF print utility for the training schedules. This print utility works much like the on-line training manual print utility. Participants can now select any training schedule and click the PDF print button that appears above the schedule. The PDF will print out the training schedule that includes the following:
