My 5k training has been on hold last week and this week, which is a bummer! I was doing so well with getting my workouts in. Last week like I mentioned my little one was sick and I was spending all my time getting her back to her happy, healthy self. Then we had to prepare for Easter, we had family over, so I was busy shopping, cleaning and cooking. Then Sunday night, I got sick!! Ugh! I am just starting to feel better, but its my sinuses and a head that are killing me so I have to wait until I am feeling better to get back to my workouts. I just picked up the toys in my living room and it wore me out, haha! It really is the worst being sick. So, once I am feeling better I am going to double up on my runs during the week until I get caught back up. Today I want to share a strength training workout for runners. I have still been getting my weights workout in, well I was until the sickness hit our house. It is important to still workout with weights when training for runs as well. You want to stretch out after a quick warm up then get your run in then do your strength training workout in. I usually do the opposite of what I just mentioned, but since running is what I am focusing on I want to use my energy for that first then get my strength workout in.
I hope that you enjoy the workout! Are there any moves that you would add? I am hoping to get back to my workouts by the end of this week! I have to get back on schedule with my couch 2 5k program!
Do you have any races coming up?
