Yes of course they train like stink, but a healthy lifestyle is all important to a serious athlete.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine
While I remember, a quick post of yesterday's gym session. My mid-week efforts are not too strenuous, but it hit the spot...:
Tuesday 16/8/16 – Upper body:
1. Chest press:
20x40 w/u
12x70
10x70
8x70
2. Lat pulldown, underarm:
12x50
10x60
7x70
3. DB concentration curl, alt:
6x18
6x18
6x20
4. E-Z curl, preacher bench, low pull:
8x43
6x43
6x48
*Felt good to have advanced to a starting weight of 43kgs on this now. Hardly even felt the weight, going on to great things lol.
5. Ab crunch:
20x60
10x70
10x75
10x80
20x50
Time: 40 mins.
So despite the rush, I fitted in the essentials and ended up feeling pretty fine, so well worth the bash.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine
I do some upper body exercises but they are just to keep myself reasonably strong. Too much upper body muscle is detrimental to long distance running. I do try to keep firm belly muscles though as I read somewhere it cuts down on bad backs.19-08-2016, 12:38 AM

Very true, MKJ, they don't mix too well. I'm certainly too heavy for running long distance these days
A good exercise for strengthening the lower back is actually the seated leg press on a moderate weight.
And a cod liver oil tablet every day

Re: Post your daily exercise routine
I do a lot of exercise, but try to reign it back in hot weather, I tend not to run much because of the possible impact on the joints, in the final phase of this journey, that said, I have a measured mile in the local Country Park, so, when the afternoon temperature drops below say 20 degrees, I'll give it a bash, and post the timing.|
