I have been working up to starting the training plan, which starts just after Christmas. The running part isnt too hard to fathom, even the timings and the speed requirements, its the "strength day" section that pops up a couple of times a week.
I thought about joining our local Gym, that might be an option because no doubt the weather will be getting colder and wetter (if you read the Daily Express there will be an Ice Age before long) so the Gym might be an incentive to train even if I dont want to run. This might be an option but......
A few days ago i walked into a couple of guys at work doing a training routine and it made me think about an alternative and it seems to be fitting the bill.
Checkout this video on YouTube -
Now im not quite up to the press up challenge just yet (although never say never) but doing Squats to the same instruction is an absolute killer on the thighs and is definitely getting easier to go farther the more times i do it.
The first time i tried it was after an 8 mile run, i only managed 2:23seconds into the first play but yesterday after a faster 5 miler i managed to go through the whole thing twice with a 2 minute break in between.
Try it for strength in those legs - that is what is going to get you round the 26.2 miles i keep telling myself !!
