Strength training

I decided I needed to make more of a point to include strength training into my marathon prep.

It had to be a quick total body workout and I found one on Runner's World by a sports medicine physician, Dr. Jordan Metzl.

• Warm up: 2 minutes- 30 second sets of jumping jacks, squats, lunges
• Plyometric jump squats 6-8 sets of 15 reps
• Super Set 1 (5 minutes): 
• Rows in plank position with 6-8 pound weights, 15 reps
• Push ups, 15 reps
• Sit ups, 45 reps
• Super Set 2 (5 minutes):
• Plyometric lunges, 10 reps
• 1 leg squats, 10 reps
• Super Set 3 (5-6 minutes):
• Mountain climbers, 15 reps
• Leg lifts, 15 reps
• Super Set 4 (5 minutes):
• Squat with deadlift and high pull, 15 reps
• 1 leg balance with shoulder press, 15 reps
• 1 leg balance with bicep curl, 15 reps
• Burpees- 4 sets of 10 with 20 second rest
• Planks: 1 minute regular, 1 minute left, 1 minute right

That was my workout Thursday!
Friday and Saturday-no workout :(

Sunday (today)-10 miles! And at an 8:29 pace to boot! Considering it was the first time I ran more than 6 miles, I'll take it.

Training schedule for half and full planned out today! So excited to have a plan again.


Any other great full body strength workouts out there?
