SW: I’m not currently following my marathon training program, but I will start again in the spring. Right now I lift weights, stretch, and do cardio before work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings for about an hour. For example, on Monday I did the following routine:
Bench Press (175 lbs) 3 sets, 10-12 reps (60 seconds of jumping rope between each set)
Dumbbell Press (50 lbs each hand) 3 sets, 10-12 reps (60 seconds of jumping rope between each set)
Dumbbell Pull (50 lbs, one hand at a time) 3 sets, 10-12 reps (60 seconds of jumping rope between each set)
Dumbbell Squats (50 lbs each hand) 3 sets, 10-12 reps (60 seconds of jumping rope between each set)
2 X 40 sit ups
What I am doing now is more of a maintenance routine as finding time with the kids is challenging. Once our newborn is a little older and a little more settled I’ll have more time to start the marathon program again. In addition, snow (and below freezing temperatures) has arrived where I live, so finding nice days (or even reasonable ones) to run which align with the family is tough. I make as much time as I can, and my wife has been great in helping me.
