  • ‘This is your gym for the next 90 days’

    That’s what the box on my newly purchased P90x tells me. I am skeptical. What about my running? But I realize I don’t even know enough about the program to know if they account for that. Here’s what I do know: My gym membership ran out a month ago. I traded in Time Warner for…

But even more than that, I will run hundreds of miles to prepare for those 26.2 … For anyone who has done this craziness before (I’m about to start getting ready for the Thunder Road Marathon in Charlotte in December) 1- What marathon training program do you…
