This is my next 2 months ... training for 1/2 marathon with bench press and curl competition add-on in may ... also doing swimming and biking to augment the next round of VRAA ...

I am training with hubby, who works 12 hours F-S-Sn and won't workout those days, so I have really juggled my workout to try and fit with his as much as possible on his days off ...


here's my basic outline and why I've picked the daily format:

Mon = 7-10 mile run, sometimes including tempo work

Tues = full upper and lower body workout, easy 4-5 mile recovery run, sometimes on hills, swimming biking added during VRAA

Wed = 5-6 miles with track intervals (about 3 miles worth)

thurs = hubby LR/my LR2 at 14-15 miles , upper body/abs/back weight workout, swimming added during VRAA

Fri = me only, easy recovery run or day off from running (depending on how I feel and if I am racing Saturday), maybe swim and planned bike during VRAA

Sat - my LR (17-20 miles) when not racing ... will try to do at least 15 even when I do race ...

Sn = full upper/lower body weight workout, swim and bike during VRAA




So ... 2 full body workouts and 1 upper body weight workout per week ... maybe some supplementary push-ups thrown in somewhere (suggestions welcome)


I have to get going for work ... I'll post some exercises I am definitely including later ... but I want a pretty challenging upper body workout and a decent lower body one that still leaves strength for my biking and running hard workouts to be optimal ...



thanks for any ideas ...
