Eat and Run

Here are some really good free websites that I have been using more and more lately. The first one is all about running and anything to do with training. It's through Runner's World Magazine and offers advice on nutrition and training guides. If you want to train for a race, you just provide some basic information like. What distance are you training for? How many miles a week do you train now? How hard do you want to train? After you submit answers, you get a specialized training guide for your race. The site is really terrific because it provides information on nutrition and more. Check it out here.

Another site that is really good and free is FitDay. This a free nutrition guide that tracks your exercise and fitness goals. You input calories eaten and excerise done for the day and it gives you a series of reports, charting your progress. By adding information about my diet, I realized I was really low on protein. Since I cut tofu in my diet, I hadn't really replaced in with anything. I started eating more nuts, egg whites and beans. You won't be disappointed, try it.
