I have never been disciplined about strength training. Every time I have tried it, I'd do it for a few week and as my endurance training would go up, I'd gradually stop strength training. Instead I should scale back on strength training. I am currently start on it slowly and hoping to add more routines gradually. My current routine is only upper body and core since I just ran a marathon last weekend and I am still recovering. I hope to gradually start adding leg strength work into the mix.
Upper Body & Core:
- Biceps + shoulder press (10 reps)
- Biceps + shoulder press + push up (10 reps)
- 2x:
- Biceps only 10 reps
- Shoulder Press only 10 reps
- 2x:
- Triceps (10 reps Left, 10 reps Right)
- One hand row (10 reps Left, 10 reps Right)
- 10 min core (follow a YouTube video)
I will gradually add these exercises to the routine:
- Leg strength for running/cycling
- Split squat (gradually increase difficulty by adding weight)
- Arabesque (helps with glutes/hammy activation and control)
- Hip glute bridge (both legs and then single-leg to add difficulty)
- Calf raises OR jump rope 3x 30sec
