Train with fellow Badgers and UW-Madison’s Ron Carda PhD’90 in WAA’s annual online marathon training course. An instructor in the Department of Kinesiology and experienced marathon runner, Dr. Carda adapts the marathon training course he teaches on campus to serve UW alumni and friends via the Internet. Participants learn and train alongside current students and alumni from around the country.
The online marathon course guides trainees through the process of designing and implementing an individual personal training plan. Participants are encouraged to stay in regular contact with Dr. Carda through e-mail; he provides individual feedback and coaching throughout the course. In addition, class members can develop an online community through a message board, where ideas, questions and encouragement are shared.
The 2010 Madison Marathon is May 30. This course is a great way to start training now!
