My Anti-Running Efforts
March 12, 2009
My workout tonight was focused on what many might consider in opposition to my goals of improving my previous 10-mile run time. However, I see things a bit different…
Deadlifts 3 reps x 6 sets with 225 lbs; 2 minute rest intervals
+50 Arm Climbing from Push-Up Position
I use deadlifts to maintain the strength of my “backside”. Running, especially with all the hills in Downingtown places an emphasis on the quadriceps (front of thigh) to an extreme. Keeping my hips strong helps me to balance out the stresses I experience during my training runs. Consequently, I feel progressively stronger when I navigate the hills from week to week.
