I feel so much better since getting back in the gym. Appreciate y’all posting in here. Keeps me motivated to keep up!

Day got away from me so will be doing my running tonight. Probably treadmill for first time since it’s so cold

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I did 5 on the treadmill tonight myself. It’s a de-load week so I’m not worked up about it. Need to get 7 in on the trails on Friday morning.

Next week it ramps up. 3/6/3 then 12 on the long run; week after is 3/6/3 then 13. The volume really ramps up from here out.

Dig that. I’m only running Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday. I said to hell with four days a week.

Deadlifted today for the first time in probably 6 months. Extremely light. Felt good to do deads again, though.

Finished up with 3 miles worth of intervals on the treadmill. Averaged just over an 8 minute mile. Need to speed that up to under 8 on shorter runs.

 

[wU-Tang Vol]

Ugh... I hate deadlifting

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

It used to be one of my stronger movements, but my back is a disaster and I’m trying my best to stay intact for this marathon. Still, I’ve always found that my body responds best to a mix of weight training and cardio, so I still try to get the basic movements (squat, deadlift, bench) in.

Years ago a guy named Bill Simmons wrote a book and program called Body For Life. It’s what really got me into fitness for the first time. There’s a quote in the book that always stuck with me. Basically, it says “If you’re shaped like a pear and you only do cardio, you’ll just become a smaller pear.” Got to get resistance training in there to truly change the shape of your body.

No long distance running stories. Just really, really sore from a brutal leg day lol

Got my 7 in on the trail this morning. Legs were heavy from the other training I did this week, so the pace wasn’t good. It’s done and we’re on to next week, where 12 miles on Friday looms large.

There are days when I don’t feel like driving 12 miles. Good luck lol
