online fitness

Does anyone know of any online sites that have support for fitness programmes etc. For example if I want to run a marathon in six months time, but have never run a mile before what should my programme be. thanks benjamin

Before you buy.

JustMove.com is a site sponsored by the American Heart Assoc. that has a program geared towards basic health and fitness. Otherwise, I've found searches on running lending info. on approaches for building distance along with bulletin boards to exchange information and advice, often in conjunction with running clubs.

Firstly, one word of caution - if you aren't already pretty fit you probably won't be running a marathon in 6 months time and even if you do, you probably won't enjoy it. Why not set a goal of a 10k or 1/2 marathon in 6 months time and a marathon in a year or so?

Anyway, for training programs try http://www.runnersworld.com or http://www.halhigdon.com or http://www.marathontraining.com and also check out the news:rec.running group for advice and encougragement.
