I just turn 37, and I've decided to set a goal for myself to run the NYC Marathon on/before I'm 40. Many years ago (in my 20's) I used to run a lot. Never in a race or anything. But it's been a while since I was out running.
I know I have to lose some weight. And I currently Spin 3-4 times a week. I'm currently still recovering from a serious car accident. I had a fracture pelvic where hardware was put in place to pull the pelvic back together. And I've only started strength building on my lower body in the last 3 months. In a few months, I should be able to start running again. And I want to get myself ready mentally/physically to accomplish this goal.
I'm looking for some advice or if anyone is in the NYC area who wants to train with me. I need advice on how to train (food, exercise etc).

Thanks in advance!
there are lots of sites on the web with great information for beginners. i think runnersworld.com is a good one for running specifically and http://www.exrx.net/ is a pretty good general exercise site. Good luck! It sounds like you're giving yourself a very conservative goal which is a good thing if you can keep yourself motivated that long!

Why is it in every newsgroup a legitimate question gets a few serious, well thought out answers, then the thread deteriorates into name calling and idiocy?

The answer is very easy. r.r is an unmoderated usenet group so anyone can post. We just happen to have our fair shared of [censored]. This is why most news readers have kill files.

Notice he doesn't deny it?
the real sign that a thread has run it's course is whenever [censored] or the nazis are brought into it.
i would note that complaining about the quality of the advice that's been asked for is behaving just like [censored].

Hi, and bravo for your goals in running. Firstly, do not rush into the marathon. If everything goes well and you train smart, you should probably hit your goal. Did you talk to your surgeon and see if the hard ware was healed enough and strong enough to support running? If everything is ok with the hardware, you are ready for a fun ride. In my opinion I would drop the spinning(I assume this is bicycle training) Concentrate on running. start easy and do not get discouraged. http://www.runnersworld.com/category/0,5034,s6-51-184-0-0,00.html is a great site to start at to see some beginner programs. You will be suprised at how quickly you can run further and faster. Become a student of your sport. Read as much as you can and use it. I would recommend a long base period, at least six months to a year before you begin to race seriously. I have been running and racing for over twenty five years. The hardest thing to do is those beginning months. Your body will adapt....be patient. Let me know how it is going. You can feel free to email me. Good luck and don't ever stop dreaming!!!!

I would say keep the spinning, as long as you have the time, and add the running. Keep the runs slow and short and build your weekly total and your "long runs" very very gradually. The spinning will help you get generally fitter faster and give you an outlet for you energies when you start to get the urge to run more, (faster or farther), too soon. People get hurt when running when they feel great, because they are encouraged by their recent results. Drop the spinning after a year or so, when your weekly running mileage is high enough that you feel satisfied.
