So according to my marathon training I need one day of core work and strengthening. I left this out in the mini training and I do think adding this will really help! Most runs over 8 miles I begin to feel like my stomach is an empty pit so I am sure this will make me feel stronger.
Today I decided to use my Y membership and took a bodyfit class. It was excellent. The instructor is my favorite one there. Okay I haven't actually been in many other instructor's classes but she is really good (her body is proof), she is hilarious (helps pass the time), and she makes me feel like I really pushed myself. We did everything from step, to kick boxing, to core work. It was crazy fun. My muscles were trembling (an odd but good feeling).
I also got to see two friends in the class who are not connected and whom I didn't anticipate seeing. So that was truly a fun suprise. Now I have to hit the road for work South Bend here I come. Rain Rain Go Away....

Bodyfit sounds cool! That's awesome that you tried it. I'm pretty bad about strength/core training with my running schedule... but the swimming I do once or twice a week fits that, right? :) Once you start getting into longer runs have you thought about or tried using gels?
ReplyDeleteI have thought about them but not sure if it would just upset my stomach. I've heard they can be hard to get used to. Are you doing 4 for the marathon? That is what I have read is average. Do you want to send me your nasty ones?
