Get Bigger, Faster, and Stronger with this Leg Day Training for a Half Marathon

Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing a Leg Day Training for a Half Marathon. This is a great lower body workout that will work on strength and cardio, to help build lean muscle. 

Cardio Round 1…

For today’s cardio, we are going to be doing a 2 mile run on the treadmill. Be sure to challenge yourself here by either changing the speed every half mile or the incline. If it is nice outside, feel free to substitute this with a 2 mile run outside instead. 

Circuit…

For our circuit today we are going to be focusing on barbell squat. Take the first 2 sets to warm up and then get into your primary 4 sets. Be sure to challenge yourself and increase the weight throughout the sets. 
 
After doing squats, we will hit 4 additional exercises, which we will do 4 sets of. Feel free to increase the weight in between sets to make it more challenging.
 

Abs…

We are going to do an ab circuit to end today’s workout. This is a 4 exercise ab circuit which we will do 3 rounds of. 

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.
