Runners Check In April 7

Hi everyone! I think I might try to check in here regularly since I regularly run!:)

This morning I ran a 5 mile tempo run with my DH who was pushing our DD in the jogging stroller. It was a very hilly run and my DH who will be running a 1/2 on Sunday was taking it a little faster than I thought he should, leaving me about 1/4 mile behind. Since he rarely listens to my running/fitness lectures I decided I would just have to commence to kicking his ass! I picked up the pace and passed him but he hung in pretty good! I could here him panting, grunting and groaning behind me until I started my cool down. Ah, what fun!

Tomorrow I'll run somewhere between 10 and 12 miles. I normally run my long runs with a very chatty friend but since she'll be running the same 1/2 as my DH on Sunday then I'll be going solo this weekend.
 
LOL!! :)
Sarah: I can't believe I typed that!!! I meant that I was DOWN a pound!!! I know you know that and it's all in fun, but I felt the need to correct my error!!! LOL:) my DD and I are still laughing!

good running for everyone!!!! keep it up...love reading all of this!

take care:)

Hello everyone, I managed to get in 3.5miles in today before the rain hit. I also did jiggle free arms video this morning. It was so nice out today. Sarah, I ran the rock n roll half marathon last may. Doing it again this may, may 21st. The lighthouse half is next weekend in huron ohio. This will be the first time running that one for me. I also might run the columbus half in october. I heard that is a real nice half to run. talk with you all later.
 
oops sorry! Guess letting you know what my runs are would help! RIght now I'm doing the run/walk beginner thing, each one lasting 30 mins. Starting June I will be doing an actual half marathon training plan (hal higdon).
 
Cbelle,

What do you think about this:

M- PUB - CTX Step and Intervals (cardio only)
T- run (Steady State)
W- PLB - KPC
TH- Rest
F- MM
S- run (Interval or Tempo)
S- run (Long Run)

You didn't indicate whether or not you have access to any other cardio machines or would just be using DVDs/videos. It doesn't really matter...I think you can see where I'm coming from. You don't have to use the exact workouts I list above. At least it's someplace to start.

Let me know what you think...

I like it! I get the basic idea. I guess I'm just wondering what the general opinion is on what weights work I should be doing while tryingto 1)lose weight and 2) get ready for this half marathong...should I be doing heavy weights like PS or SH or more endurance type? should I do a split or full body? or what about circuits? that kind of thing....
 
Everyone's opinion will differ on this...you'll just kind of have to start from someplace and go from there.

Are you used to lifting weights? If so I think you will be fine with the weight work here. You will only do a heavy leg day once/week with PLB and if you want you can go lighter on the weights.

Just start here and if you find that it affects your performance then adjust from there.

I think this will suit both of your goals to lose weight and to prepare you for your run.

Cbelle,
I think that Marietta's suggested rotation is a great start for your goals, you can always tweak as you go along. I might suggest though, that you sub a circuit for Muscle Max every other week, especially at first. This will help burn body fat while counting as some light weight work, it will also keep your body guessing. ;-)
