Get Bigger, Faster, and Stronger with this Half Marathon Upper Body Workout

Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing a half marathon upper body workout. This is a great workout to build lean muscle mass and strength. This workout is also great for those training for a half marathon but also want to still keep lifting weights.

Cardio Round 1…

For today’s cardio, we will be doing a 50 minute jog on the treadmill. The first 5 minutes will be a warm up so you can either walk or jog. The next 30 minutes, run at a 9:20 – 8:15 pace. If you are feeling good during this run, extend it by an additional 10 minutes at the same pace range. End with a 5 minute cool down.

Circuit…

For our circuit today we are going to be focusing on upper body. This is a 9 exercise workout broken out into 2 circuits, which we will do 4 times. We will do each exercise for a desired amount of reps before moving onto the next. After each round take about a 30 second break. 
 

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.
