TrainingPeaks Selected to Power the Official ING New York City Marathon Online Training Program
30 June 2009
New York Road Runners is now offering a training program powered by TrainingPeaks with training plans designed by Andrew Kastor to help runners achieve their race day goals.
TrainingPeaks has been selected by New York Road Runners as the official training software of the ING New York City Marathon, providing all marathon participants with an exercise diary and interactive marathon training plans designed by Andrew Kastor. Runners can now follow a training plan that will provide them with the expert training advice necessary to arrive on race day well-prepared and to finish their event eager to return next year.
The training plans will be loaded into an interactive training log that will allow participants to map their runs, create routes, keep a food diary, record workout data such as heart rate, pace, elevation gain and much more either manually, or by uploading data from one of more than 80 popular training devices including Garmin, Polar, Timex, iPhone and others.
“The ING New York City Marathon is the most prestigious marathon in the world, and TrainingPeaks is proud to have been selected by the New York Road Runners as the official online training software for this event,” said Donavon Guyot, CEO of Peaksware, the development company of TrainingPeaks. “We’re excited to provide the tools that runners will be able to utilize together with their training plan to better achieve their goals.”
A choice of three 18-week online programs designed by coach Andrew Kastor are available for either the Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced runner on the ING New York City Marathon website. Participants will receive daily email workout reminders or be able to access the programs from any computer or mobile device at any time to view their day’s planned workout, log their training or map their routes.
“New York Road Runners is honored to announce a partnership with Andrew Kastor, USATF certified coach and husband of Olympic medalist Deena Kastor, and TrainingPeaks” says Mary Wittenberg, President and CEO of New York Road Runners. “This partnership with Kastor and TrainingPeaks enables us to provide runners with an additional training resource for their ING New York City Marathon race this year.”
The Official ING New York City Marathon training plans are available not only to race participants, but can also be purchased in the TrainingPeaks Store by anyone who wants to improve their fitness through training like a New York City Marathon runner.
