One thing I'm finding with various training plans is the inclusion of cross training. Find something to do on a day or two during the week that you don't run and rest your legs. I've been focusing on weight lifting. However, I'm back into ramping up my base mileage, and I've found that my weight time is becoming limited on the lunch time runs.
I decided to go back to an old workout routine that I started a couple years ago. It is one of those gimmick workout routines, but it is simple and doesn't take up much time. Plus it works out one area I'd like to strengthen. This 100 pushup plan covers a number of weeks and will get you on your way to doing 100 pushups continuously. Last night, I just finished up week 2 day 3 and I am doing the middle column. I do my workouts every other day before bed.
Here are the week 2 results:
Day 1 - 9-11-8-8-14
Day 2 - 10-12-9-9-19
Day 3 - 12-13-10-10-20
It really only takes 5-7 minutes each night, so I'm trying to convince myself to stick to the plan. That's a total of 50-59-65 pushups for the week and a grand total of 174 pushups. These do not in any way replace any exercise I do for the week. I am doing this in addition to the running and weights I'm already doing. Tonight I will do the Week 2 Exhaustion test where I simply do as many pushups as I can in one set.
