workout of the day, we are going to be doing a Half Marathon Lower Body Workout. This is a great workout that will work on strength and cardio, to help build lean muscle. This is also a great workout to do if you are training for a half marathon.

Cardio Round 1…

For today’s cardio, we will be doing a 35 minute run at a moderate pace. You can either do this on a treadmill or outside, totally up to you. This is the primary focus of our workout today so make it count. Take the first 5 minutes to warm up, then 25 minutes at a pace of 9:30 – 8:15, then end the workout with a 5 minute cool down walk or jog. 

Circuit…

For weights today, we will be doing a circuit focused around lower body and then a circuit that is focused on abs. The first circuit will be rep based and be a total of 4 rounds. The ab circuit will be time based and for a total of 2 rounds.

Stretch

To end the workout, stretch out those muscles to prevent soreness and injury. Recovery is the most important part after working out, so make sure to take care of your body and it will take care of you. Stretch it out for a total of 10 – 15 minutes depending on how much time you have.
