Running Planet, on online training resource for recreational and competitive runners has launched a new, remodeled website. Included in the new launch are a number of eBooks and instant access training plans
(PRWeb) February 5, 2007 -- Running Planet, Inc., an online publisher of training information for recreational and competitive runners has launched a new version of their popular website at www.runningplanet.com. Included in the new launch are a number of instant access eBooks and training plans.
Running Planet is launching a new line of full color, interactive eBooks. These eBooks are produced in Adobe PDF format. They are full color and offer the reader a unique interactivity that is not available in standard print style books.
"We believe that eBooks represent the future of publishing," said Rick Morris, CEO and head coach at Running Planet, Inc. "eBooks are downloaded immediately after purchase. There is no waiting for shipping. They can be offered at a lower price since there are no printing costs involved. They are also great for the environment. They do not use any of our precious natural resources, nor do they create landfill problems." Morris went on to say, "One of the greatest benefits of eBooks to consumers is the fact that they can be interactive. When they are viewed on a computer with internet access, the reader is able to click on links to other valuable information across the web."
The first eBook release from Running Planet is the "Complete Guide for Beginning Runners". This is a full color, interactive eBook that takes a new runner from the couch to a full marathon. The eBook contains all the information a new runner needs including getting ready to run, an 8 week beginners program, nutritional tips and advancing to longer distances from their first 5K race to their first marathon. The books contain many interactive links to more valuable information on the internet.
This is the first of a line of interactive eBooks scheduled to be published by Running Planet, Inc. Running Planet has also released a number of goal pace training plans for the marathon and 10K distances. These downloadable eBooks are unique among training books because they are written for specific goal paces. There are marathon training eBooks for finishing times between 2 hours 30 minutes and 5 Hours. The 10K eBooks are available for finishing times from 33 minutes to 60 minutes. In first quarter of 2007, Running Planet will also be releasing goal specific eBooks for the 5K and half marathon distances.
"Our goal is to be the number one training information source for new runners, recreational runners and competitive runners", said Rick Morris. "We will be releasing new material each week."
