Workout libraries powered by TrainingPeaks and available on Running Times Magazine provide runners with a resource to design their own training plans for 5k, 10k, half marathon and marathon.
Lafayette, CO, June 21, 2010 -- Now available from Running Times Magazine, new workout libraries designed by expert coaches and powered by TrainingPeaks online training and nutrition software allow runners to create customized training plans for 5k, 10k, half marathon and marathon events. Members can select a library that suits their needs and then drag and drop workouts into their interactive online TrainingPeaks calendar to build out an individualized workout schedule that fits their busy, active lifestyles and prepares them for the event of their choice.
In addition to receiving a customized library of workouts bundled with a TrainingPeaks Premium subscription account, Running Times members will be able to map routes, track shoes, record nutrition, monitor weight, sleep and stress, and upload heart rate, GPS and pace data.
"At Running Times, we realize that every runner and every training season is unique, so for many people cookie-cutter plans just don't cut it," said Running Times editor Jonathan Beverly. "Our online Workout Libraries packaged with a TrainingPeaks Premium account provide the instruction and tools to build a custom plan from a set of detailed workouts. Users also have the ability to assess and adjust the plan at any time from any computer or mobile device."
"The team at Running Times pushed us to produce something totally new for their readers," said Donavon Guyot, CEO of Peaksware, the producer of TrainingPeaks. "Interactive workout libraries give runners of all abilities the flexibility they need to achieve all of their training and racing goals."
All Running Times workout libraries come with a complimentary 3 to 4 month premium TrainingPeaks subscription depending on the library, up to a $90 value. Libraries for 5k, 10k, half-marathon and marathon events are now available for purchase on the Running Times website.
