Strength and Core Work

I have probably neglected doing strength and core work during my short running career.  I have done a bit but not enough so while I am taking a bit of a rest from running (not for long!) I decided to kick start some solid work in the gym to help me improve my overall fitness.

I had a good 1 hour 30 mins session in the gym that included:

• 15 mins warm up on the bike
  
• glute circuit  x 3
  
• squats 5 x 10
  
• standing abductions 5 x 20
  
• walking lunges 5 x 10
  
• single leg calf raises 3 x 12
  
• leg press 3 x 12
  
• single leg curls (quads) 3 x 12
  
• single leg curls (hamstring) 3 x 12
  
• 10 mins on the bike
  
• press ups using step for legs 3 x 10
  
• plank
  
• side plank
  
• side bend 3 x 10
  
• superman
  
• crunches 3 x 10

I just need to get some good strength and core work completed when back to running full training weeks along with eating the right foods and this will give me a chance to hitting the targets I have set for this year
