WomenRunners.com
is a web site designed for the seasoned woman runner.
She
may be competitive, racing several times a year. Or she
may be past the competition, but still runs for the power
it instills in her, and the feelings that it invokes from
her.
She
no longer cares about how many calories her workouts burn,
or how she can tone up her arms as well, unless these
things relate specifically to improving her as a runner.
She
enjoys the companionship of other runners, and likes to
follow their progress. Since she races frequently, she
would welcome friends in different areas of the country
where she might stay during a race weekend, reciprocating
the favor when they come to her city.
She
is willing to try new products which may enhance the running
experience.
She
is interested in the science behind running; she enjoys
reading about research in the running field, knowing that
it may serve to improve her performance.
If
she is a serious competitor, she may be interested in
how to promote herself as an athlete, and would like to
know about agents, race directors, sponsorship and other
related topics.
The
womenrunners may range in age, ability, strength and experience,
but they have one thing in common; they all possess a
love for running.
We
would welcome all submissions. Please forward
them to me for consideration.
As
the web site progresses, you may have ideas for future
columns. These ideas are also welcome. Visit this site
often, and hopefully you will find it to be useful, informative
and fun.
