Most trainers and fitness professionals advocate cross training for all level of athletes. Generally this involves aerobic and anaerobic routines threaded through the week with a day of rest and stretching or yoga. I like the concept. When following a schedule like this I use the rest and stretch days for lighter cardio to preserve the integrity of The Streak.
Recently, I set out to create my own
90 day program. I just finished the first month. I use a variety of routines
from programs like P90X and Insanity as well as a healthy dose of running and a
dash of yoga. Part
one went well. I find is the alternating plan of cardio followed by resistance
creates a nice balance and doesn’t over stress any one section of the body.
However, I sort of yearn for a workout, roughly 40 minutes, of cardio and
resistance combined. I’m toying with some ideas. More to follow.
Push. Pull. Lift. Step or Run.

I got new shoes! We ran the yellow trail yesterday. Mt.Everest at the .75 mark makes any incline at Hembree Park seem like a speed bump. A warning about that would've been nice. See you next week for our run/lunch.

Happy Memorial Day.
