After weighing up the various options I’ve decided that I will just keep repeating each day of the 100 pushup challenge until I can do that day and then move on. I figure that way I’ll keep improving and not be dropping down to an easier level. I feel that htis way at least I know I’ll be progressing through improvement rather than progressing by dropping the intensity.
That means I redid day 01 of week 03. I did 25, 17, 17, 12 and 15 (10 short) which is a big improvement over my last attempt. That brings my total pushups for this session to 86 which I’m very pleased with. Hopefully next time I can actually hit that 25 on the last set. And even if I don’t, it doesn’t really matter as I’ll keep plugging away at it.
I also did my first hill run today. Unfortunately the weather was a bit nasty this morning so I decided to run in the gym as I also wanted to do my pushups. I did 7Km on a hill climb program. I have to say it was quite tough!
I’ve received a lot of great feedback (you guys rock!) on my proposed half marathon training program and one consistent piece of advice is that my proposed long runs are too long. So I’m going to have a play with the program and reduce the long runs. A few people thought I was having too many rest days but I’m a big believer in rest days. I also think I should clarify that a rest day just means a rest from running. I will be doing some cross training on some of those days.
