When you join Team Diabetes, you get all the support and help you could possibly need. From fundraising ideas to training, they make sure you hit the goals you’ve got in front of you.

The training is in the form of free clinics with The Running Room. If you live in one of the major centres in Canada, you’re free to attend the clinics held at the store nearest you. If you have a busy schedule, or dont have a Running Room near you, you can sign up for the web clinics.

The web clinics are easy, each week you receive an email with some training information/inspiration and then a running/walking schedule. Here is my week one schedule:

The introductory email details what steady and tempo and fartlek means, and how to train properly.

The emails also include lectures from guest speakers meant to give training tips and motivation.

My name is Steve Price and along with Kevin Findling we will be e-running with you for the next 16 weeks!

On-Line Clinics are a new and exciting way to train and they also allow you to obtain a lot of information. As well, each week we will send you an email and introduce the Clinic Topic, some guest speakers and then include some training schedules for various paces. Please note that you are able to build your own schedule by entering your estimated completion time under the Training Schedule tab.

My training is including piece of the web clinics, along with a plan I’ve made with a Smart Coach from Runners World Magazine.

Deadline for joining Team Diabetes runs in Prague, and Australia are coming up at the end of October. So join now!
