Today I got in an hour and a half run in Farmville.
This is the trail I'll be doing for December's ultra. As you know, every week I combine running with gym sessions.
One reason I like exercise science so much is because although there are a lot of details and a lot to potentially know, actually implementing a sensible plan of exercise that works is fairly simple. Behind the simplicity is a lot of research, but the plan itself is simple:
- Run consistently.
- Visit the gym 3-4 days a week.
- Hit every major muscle group during the week.
- Work out for no more than 3-5 hours per week at the gym.
- Stick to basic movements.
- Get enough protein in your diet.
- Make sure you get at least 8 hours of sleep every night.
- Focus on quality form, proper nutrition for recovery, and resting between workouts.
Apologies for my stumbling explanation.
Nap time!
