Welcome to my workout log!
Here you’ll find each workout I do everyday. Hopefully you’ll see that January and February are all about balance, meaning, trying to include all the components of fitness: cardio, muscular training (both endurance and strength,) and flexibility.
Then sometime in March, when I start training for a half marathon, you’ll most likely see the shift to be more focused on running and core work (but still trying to get in the other components.)
I consistently take 1-2 rest days per week. If you have any questions or comments about my workouts, feel free to ask away by emailing me: runningaroundnormal@gmail.com
