TIP OF THE DAY: If you are a beginning runner who has just finished your first road race, you will continue to improve if you do nothing else but train consistently. Most established training programs for first-timers last several months. Class leaders guide their students through a graduated schedule, the main feature being a long run that gets progressively longer as race day approaches. Students are usually sent to the starting line undertrained and well rested, because experience has shown that to be the best way to ensure that they finish. Better to be safe than sorry. And who can argue with success?
