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.

No! They are not ok. You will end u injuring yourself and not being able to run at all. They are not built for continuous pounding on the ground. Buy some normal running shoes.
