I think that you may be on to something with the analysis of running website. What you are talking about is essentially a virtual coaching website.

Much like you, I'm training for my first 5K as well and am having a blast not only on my runs, but interacting with fellow bloggers as well.<br /><br />Regarding your question about keeping track of your runs - I also started tracking them with DailyMile which really isn't bad for a starting point, but after a friend recommended that I purchase a Garmin Forerunner 305, I had my world ROCKED.<br /><br />That thing is unbelievable and has added an entire new dimension to my running. Not only will it plot my runs on a map, but it logs every single stat you could ever want to track - heart rate, elevation, pace, lap time, distance, calories burned, and the list goes on.<br /><br />On top of that, it effortlessly syncs to Garmin's website (Garmin Connect) which allows you to not only view your runs and track your progress in a plethora of ways, but you can even embed your run information directly in your blog posts. I've started doing that at my blog instead of manually typing everything - SO much easier, not to mention, better looking. Oh, and you can even import the Garmin data into DailyMile!<br /><br />Anyhow, now that I've won the "longest comment in the world" award, I'll bid you farewell. Good luck on your training - you have a new loyal fan to cheer you on!<br /><br />-JimmyJimmy @ Run, Jimmy, Runhttp://www.runjimmyrun.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354270740210130211.post-21441046193969298822010-08-25T09:38:14.624-04:002010-08-25T09:38:14.624-04:00Love the joke, too funny!

For your 5K, you will probably want to taper for 1-2 days. Rest, hydrate and a small carbo-load (pasta, bread, etc). Stay away from whole grains 2 days before your race. What you eat 2 days before the race is more important than what you eat the day before.<br /><br />You will do fine on your race. I think you are making it too technical. Go, run, have fun!

I'm disappointed in DailyMile, because they have such a limited stats history capability.
