OK,
my initial decision to run this insane race, i need to do a serious overhaul on my body. As I have said, i have lifted weights most of my adult life, and i don't see that changing. So I have decided on a 5 day workout regimen with Monday, Wedsday, and Friday going to weight training, and Tuesday and Thursday being my jogging days. My weight training I will be following the strong lifts 5X5 routine. this is a great basic routine, that should cover all major body parts. I am used to a 3 day routine albeit 2 body parts a day and not total body conditioning, so we shall see how this goes. anyways, if your interested here is the website:http://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5-beginner-strength-training-program/.
For my jogging criteria, i will be using a modified"from couch to 5k running plan" Sounds right up my alley. here is the website for it as well http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml.
as the year progresses, i will be flipping these two regimens so that i am lifting 2 times a week and running three. I will probably let the weight training go and do primarily body weight exercises the last month of training and will be actively searching for body weight workout plans that encorporate a bear walk for scrambling under barbed wire, as well as the always fun push ups, pull ups and the infamous "burpies"
Think thast about it for my plans of course there will be some dietary restrictions, and i need to see my podiatrist to find out what type of shoe i need, and whether or not all the broken toes and ankles over the years are gonna give me trouble. so stay tuned for that.
Solid plan Knobby! Look forward to watching your progress over the coming year.
