Week 1: Back at the gym & ½ training

Week 1

  • Last Monday: Joined Golds (for the 3rd time in my life), briskly walked 2 miles on the treadmill, went to Body Pump
  • Last Tuesday: 4 miles outside 
  • Last Wednesday: Went Body Pump Express 30 then CRX class, 1 mile treadmill cool down
  • Last Thursday: 5K solo trail run
  • Sunday:  6 miles outside

Week 2 Preview

  • Yesterday: Went to Body Pump then CRX class, ½ mi treadmill cool down
  • Today: Plan to check out Body Attack to see how it compares to Pump and run 4 miles (hopefully outside before class,but my face my freeze off) 

My goal is to go to classes 2x a week. I want to check out as many class/instructor options before I get into a “routine.” 

I also really like that a number of the classes are back to back taught by the same instructor so you can go from Pump to CRX seamlessly or Pump to Body Flow/Yoga. 

My half marathon training this cycle is an intermediate plan that has me running 3x a week, but generally at a higher mileage – need to figure out my optimal weekday run days. I’m thinking Mon or Tues afterwork and Thurs before work in addition to a weekend run on Sat or Sun. The plan is to run the Shamrock ½ in VA Beach 3/20 with T, however we haven’t registered yet.
