The next LA Marathon won’t be run until next march, so there’s plenty of time to train yourself and your jogging mates to enter the competition. In between practice, don’t miss this site, where you’ll be able to find all the information about this specific race, it’s course, registration fees, etc. Most importantly, you’ll find free sophisticated tools to help you organize your training sessions. How so? You have to sign up with Devine (that’s what the program is called), provide some personal information and then get to create a buddy list of joggers and schedule training sessions and goals based on either a specific marathon, or just getting fitter. But you have even more: this web-based app includes testimonials and exclusive footage from some of the most important professional and amateur marathon runners, which can prove valuable advice if you are training yourself without a coach. Take your time and check your progress, and whenever you feel you’re ready, use the site to register for the race. When the Marathon is being run, the site works as the news center, organizing live coverage and the like; for the rest of the year, you can check out who the last winners were and watch profiles from people just like you who are training using Devine.
