Bigger changes than I expected
Now that I'm ramping up my run mileage for race season, I have to lift about half as often as I was lifting in previous blocks. All previous training blocks have been:
- Mon: Chest & Back (power/strength)
- Tues: Shoulders & Arms (strength)
- Wed: Legs: (power/strength)
- Thu: Chest & back (hypertrophy)
- Fri: Shoulders & Arms
For Phase 2, which is Race prep, I've moved to a lower frequency lifting schedule so I can keep up the increased running / conditioning in the evenings.
Phase 2 Morning Lifting Schedule:
- Monday: Chest & Back (strength/hypertrophy)
- Tuesday: Cardio
- Wednesday: Legs (strength/hypertrophy)
- Thursday: Cardio
- Friday: Arms (strength/hypertrophy)
- Saturday: Race Day or Challenge Day
Phase 2 Evening Conditioning Schedule:
- Monday: Speed warmup, distance running
- Tuesday: Speed warmup, sprints, boxing
- Wednesday: Speed warmup, sprints, boxing
- Thursday: Speed warmup, distance running
- Friday: Speed warmup, recovery run
Challenge Day:
I'm outside hiking, biking, kayaking, or doing a trail run
