You should give yoga a go, covers your stretching, lower body without weights and some core work too. Finishing off with a meditation is great for the mind too
Thanks Chris. Yeah, I've done yoga in the past and the stretching I've been doing verges on being Yoga. Also a fan of meditation but I tend to use it tactically, such as when I'm stressed or in the past when I've had issues falling asleep.
Hi Phil, the plan is to do 4 sessions a week. The best time for me is usually at lunch time, as I can squeeze a 40 minute session in when I'm working from home. I'll probably do sessions on either mon/tue/thur/fri/sat. Wednesdays and Sundays are long run days so I'll probably avoid doing sessions then. 40 mins will probably be 5 mins warm up/running dynamics, 2 x 15 min sessions on different areas (lower body, core, upper body - I'll rotate them throughout the week), then 5 mins of stretching. That's the plan anyway. I typically go into the office once a week so will try and avoid doing S&C on travel days.

Think gym work is so underrated in running - the number one way for injury prevention is strengthening! Also just dropped you a follow on Strava!
Thanks Max. Yeah definitely! I feel like my form is improving significantly thanks to the S&C. One of those things that is easy to overlook.
Well done for sticking at it. Your 4 x a week plan sounds good. 💪👍
Thanks Brioni!
So now it’s over, how are you going to implement this into your running week?

@@jamesday1 that sounds great mate
I'm not sure you can count 3 minutes of exercises in your study towards '60 days in the gym'...
😅 yeah the first week was pretty light but I averaged 30 mins a day for 60 days. The steady build helped avoid any injuries.
@@jamesday1 point taken but it's a bit of a misleading title
