Strength training

8 weeks to Brighton half marathon.

Not done any training since Christmas eve. I really need to also fit in strength training but I hate it any ideas? APS etc I could use

Thank you hilbean ! I've signed up and did the first session this evening!

[Beccym Graduate10 in reply to Spongecake7]

How did young find thee hip flexor?

[Spongecake7 Graduate10 in reply to Beccym]

Was that the first exercise? I can feel those muscles aching now - a couple of hours afterwards! It hurt my knees though, so I'm going to kneel on a folded towel tomorrow. What session are you on?

[Beccym Graduate10 in reply to Spongecake7]

Tomorrow will be day 3. Though I don't think I am doing first long enough. He said you can use a cushion for last one.

[hilbean in reply to Beccym]

It hurts my knees! I have to resort to using a cushion

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10]

No real suggestions, but have just glanced at hilbean 's link.. It looks to be just the thing.. I start tomorrow!

[Beccym Graduate10]

Thanks Guys looks good. 😁

Have you done the NHS strength and flex podcasts?

[Beccym Graduate10]

Will check it out thanks

[skysue16 Graduate10]

Strength/core exercises - Yes, I find it hard to get motivated too! Having a go at NHS strength&flex exercises because I like the idea of doing things outdoors and will fit in when walking dog. Also a new forum has started so that might help me keep going! I will look at the link below thanks hilbean

I do squats just as and when. 10 while brushing my teeth, another 10 while the kettle boils etc, they all add up during the day. I'm doing about 30 a day on average at the moment. And it doesn't feel like an unbearable long session that gets put off as it's just part of doing other things... if that makes sense?

[Sadamski Graduate10]

therunningbug.com/training/... do quite a few 30 day challenges, Planks, Core, Squats etc which will help with strength
