Even after yesterday’s rest and stretch day I still felt a little sore this morning.

I had a good 10 minute warm up and then a foam roll to release all my tight muscles before I started training (I’ll put my foam roll video up later).

Today was back to the resistance circuits but with a couple of small changes.

In the pursuit of consistently trying to overload the body and challenge my muscles, the half marathon circuit training workout had some small changes.

Resistance Circuits – Week 2
Exercise
1.Backward Lunges -12LR*
2.Swiss Ball Hamstring Curl -12
3.Plank – 45 secs
4.Step Ups with Knee Up -12LR
5.Single Arm Row -12LR
6.Swiss Ball Half Jack Knife -12
7.Stationary Lateral Lunges -12LR
8.Single Leg Bridge -12LR
9.Side Plank -45s secs LR
*LR= left and right, i.e. 10 backward lunges on each leg.

The reps and times for the plank exercises have been increased. Also instead of just doing 2 rounds, the circuit increased to 3 sets today.

By the end I felt really good and the legs certainly didn’t feel sore anymore… maybe a little more tired but not sore!

We’ll see how they feel tomorrow before my interval running session.
