I did a 5k this morning. I also did leg press 4 sets of 180lbs. And I did leg curls 3sets of 80lbs. Tomorrow I'm going to do weights for the upper body. I will probably also run at least 3 miles as well.
oh by the way, I'm considering signing up for the Portland Marathon next year its in October. Right near my birthday, what a birthday present that would be.
Later,
Chuck

Chuck, I think its great that you are considering doing a marathon. It is also much wiser that you are thinking about it now. You have given yourself a good amount of time to build your base and condition yourself. I waited until it was really too late to think about training, especially since I am a non-runner. Injury was bound to happen. By starting early and slowly conditioning yourself, you reduce your chance of injury. Very smart!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I like that your are doing both cardio and strength training. Its a well balanced fitness program.
Nice time Chuck! Your running is really improving, you seem like a natural at it. Good luck if you start training for a marathon. Google the "Hal Higdon Marathon Training Plan" he has a bunch of different ones and they are pretty good.
ReplyDeleteBoomer, thanks for the input. I will definitely take my time to build up my endurance.
ReplyDeleteJeff, thanks man! I don't think I'm a natural but thanks. You guys are really the ones who have shown great progress and have had a lot of success.
