I just came across this rather..interesting looking exercise.
- Run 1 mile
- 100 pushups in as few sets as possible
- 100 crunches
- Run 1 mile
- 75 pushups in as few sets as possible
- 75 crunches
- Run 1 mile
- 50 pushups in as few sets as possible
- 50 crunches
Now, I’m pretty confident I could do the running bit. But the rest…ouch. So naturally, I’m going to try it out!
My physio will probably have a heart attack when I tell him, but here I go. Beginning Monday, I will be following a marathon training schedule.
The venue is as yet to be decided, but it’s likely to be Valencia or Vienna, my preference lying with Valencia as it’s a flat course, and Vienna is not.
Here’s to my knee exploding, holding up, or possibly even doing a relatively decent time. I’d consider <4 hours good given my knee problems of late, but I’d still be pissed off with anything over 3:30.
Yesterday I found an awesome little addon for my Garmin 205.
I’m a huge geek, and this is the kind of thing that really gets me going, so to speak.
On a more important note, this is the longest run I’ve done in about a year, and whats more, my legs feel great after it. No pain, no aches, and most important of all, my knee feels fine.
