Return To Racing
3.5 with dw. Felt good at start, but tired fast. Went to the gym too and did my random weight machines. I workout same as you Traci. I do try to do the machines slow in either direction.
Holiday Streak is continues.
Glad you're better Hopesmom. Take Care....
Hey everyone. I did 3 miles on the dreadmill at the gym. I also did some strength stuff. I have no clue what Im doing though. Do any of you have a ssample weight lifting schedule ? I looked for one online but didn't see anything. I basically want to do weights/ machines 3x a week. I don't want to alternate arms or legs just wanna do whole body a few times a week. And What order do I go in? I can't afford a personal trainer as they are 50-75$ per hour.
When I was going to the gym, I just did 3 sets of 10 on each of the machines I wanted to do. I started out light, then incresed just a little for each set, but not too much that I couldn't finish the 10 reps. I did the same as your thinking too, I did not seperate legs, arms, etc.
Look at the Smoky Mountain Half, you know you want to do it! I think we'll stay in Wears Valley for this trip.
Awood used to be a big weight lifter, maybe he has some pointers.
FYI. My Facebook account was infatuated earlier this year by a troll so I had set up a new account: https://www.facebook.com/dan.fuller.733?fref=ts

Oh, I noticed your account was no longer active but felt too shy to ask for your new friendship. So, off I go! Hope you accept.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

That kind of messy training seems right up my alley. I only want to finish, I've been considering a 1 mile run/ 1/2 mile walk schedule for the actual "race". He did excellent beating his expectations! I'll only be 16 weeks pregnant on race day, but it's this blasted all day sickness that will probably last until 12-13 weeks.
Hope that makes you feel better. Just try to keep a consistent LR, which is what he tried. Even if the shorter runs are horrible or you never do them, try to finish a distance of up to 10 miles before the race. Good luck!
Dan- Haha!
