    Hello. I am a semi-professional Runner (I didnt make the olympics unfortunatly) and I am trying to help Americans become more fit.

    I am currently working on a website on which you can submit your fitness information and I give you a personal Training program. The website is not up and running yet, so I currently am allowing people to email me their information and giving programs out that way. THIS IS FREE.

    This is not a scam. I am not asking for any personal information. You dont even have to give me your real name. If you choose to get a personal training program, please email me:

    Height

    Weight

    Age

    Gender

    Name (or alias)

    Best Mile Time

    Best 5k Time

    # of Miles you are willing to run per week

    Level of intebsity you are willing to do (easy, medium, hard, etc.)

    Amount of time you can set aside for running each day

    Current fitness self rating (1-10)

    Current Mileage per week

    Distance of current long run

    Current # of days ran per week

    Current running shoe

    Why do you want to become fit?

    My program is based on the Lydiard System. If you are skeptical feel free to look him up.

    Source(s): Good Luck. I promise you'll get faster.
