Have you checked out Hal Higdon's programs? They are perfect for beginners and advanced runners; and they are free. You can find them at www.halhigdon.com.

No...I wondered about the way they measure a course. Now I know! I was off on my 10k as well. I ran an extra .07 miles. Maybe that's why that one dude was always running up the middle of the street? But he was wasting a whole lot of energy moving back to the side when a car would come. That doesn't make any sense now does it?<br /><br />Congratulations on a job well done!
