With a new year comes new goals, and the best way to reach any running goal is to have a reliable plan in place. And no, training plans are not just for “serious” runners—whether you’re just starting to run for the first time (welcome to the crew!), you’re running to lose weight, you want to stay fit through the winter, or you’re looking to finally break 3:30 for the marathon, we’ve got a training plan for you. Each of our training plans offers day-by-day workouts and advice, and all are under $10. Scan the list below for the right plan to help you crush your goals this year.
