I had a 10.4km run yesterday morning. I thought I would be able to finally reach 15km but my schedule got messed up - bad planning. I should have woken up 30minutes earlier. It got so hot at 7.30am that I thought I'd get skin cancer if I don't get under a shade asap.
So I'm shuffling my schedule this week:
| Day | Activity |
|---|---|
| Monday | [REST] Body Balance |
| Tuesday AM | Run |
| Tuesday PM | Upper Body Power |
| Wednesday | Lower Body Power |
| Thursday AM | Run (15km!) |
| Thursday PM | Upper Body Hypertrophy |
| Friday | Run (short) |
| Saturday | Lower Body Hypertrophy |
| Sunday | Run |
Looks OK. I'll keep tabs on how long and how far my runs go. I plan on doing at least 40km a week. I'm not sure if that's too much, I'll just have to listen to my body... maybe I can fix my lifting program so it will be more beneficial to running.
I've been reading up on sport-specific training but I'm not convinced that circuit training will be more beneficial than strength training. But then again I've also recently read about "convict conditioning" where they claim that body-weight training is healthier for the joints (my kneeeees!!!) compared to lifting heavy weights (bodybuilder-style)... so... I'm still undecided on that area.
ANYWAY, speaking of "convict conditioning". Boyfriend wants to do hand stand push-ups in 2012. I just want to do a hand stand. So every opportunity I get, I'm practicing my bird's pose and the goal is to hold it for a full minute before 2012 arrives :D
