Training Plans & Runs | Gym Workout

Am I right in thinking you’ll be doing one session in the gym on the machines? All I would say is never underestimate the power of simple exercises like a squat which work all the key muscles groups, whilst the resistance machines tend to focus on 1 small muscles group. Leg Press is the one which is great for runners and works most the legs the best.

Take your point about the machines, and to be honest they scare me a bit! Used dumbbells for upper body (chest press/shoulder press 2 x 9kg) Inverted row on the TRX, plus lat pull down with 20kg Bulgarian spilt squats and staggered squats for single leg strength (9kg and 14 kg Calf raises 18kg 3 sets of 10 for each exercise Worked really hard

Sounds perfect. That’s a really good session there, getting the key exercises in and covering all basis. Any core work? Or is that for another day? You seem happy with what you’re doing and any stage we can put together a routine, but the gym does give you a bit more freedom to mix things up and there are so many good routines out there online you can follow. The best advice I can give is anything new, just approach with caution at first. Excellent work Sue.
