We had our work Christmas lunch yesterday, Turkey the trimmings and mince pies. After the meal most of the company wondered home, I wondered to the gym! I wasn’t sure about how my workout would go with a full belly.
The plan was to run 10k. As I began my run, I got a stitch within the first ten minutes, I told myself to run through it, but then I accidently hit the emergency stop button ( maybe it was a sign!) and didn’t have the motivation to press start again, so I stopped my run. I was a little disappointed as it meant I was diverting from the plan I set myself!
A little lost now I wondered to the weights area and began an upper body workout, super set with push ups, 4 sets x 15- 20 reps.
Then I jumped back on the treadmill and ran a fast 2km, it felt great!
Back to the weights and I did, straight arm pull downs and bent over backward row this too was 4 sets x 15-20 reps. What followed next? The 2km run, slightly faster than the first 2km.
Triceps Pull downs super set with Oblique twists and then Triceps extensions, I stuck to 4 sets x 15 reps. The 2km run followed again faster than the previous one, this one hurt a lot. I could feel the legs tiring and my upper body hurt!
The last exercise was bicep, bicep curls and hammer curls 4 x 15 reps. The last run was a cool down. In all I managed to run the 10k planned. It felt good to change things up a bit and keep my heart rate up in between weights. The interval training will surely help me for the big run next Year April 17th (London Marathon for those of you don’t yet know I’m running it!)
Why not give the workout a go and let me know your thoughts or tips on how I can improve it!
