February 2024

This month is all about building strength and explosiveness so my body can better handle the stresses from the marathon training that I’m planning for later this year. Hitting weights 3x week (Mon / Wed / Fri) focused on full body compound lifts (squats, deadlifts, cleans) while working in some golf fitness on these days too (a lot of rotational / function mobility work).

On active recovery days (Tue / Thu / Sat) planning for shorter runs and practicing my other hobbies (Muay Thai and golf) at least once a week each. Sundays are reserved for hill sprints or long runs.

Hitting this for 4 weeks before jumping into 8 weeks of hard training for the Brooklyn Half Marathon on 4/28 (targeting a 1’30” time for that race).

• Monday: Squats + legs

• Tuesday: Recovery run (<3 miles) + Muay Thai

• Wednesday: Deadlifts + back

• Thursday: Tempo run (3-5 miles)

• Friday: Full body power + golf sim

• Saturday: Muay Thai

• Sunday: Hill sprints or long run (6-10 miles)

Balancing everything and not overtraining has always been a challenge for me. Been trying to come up with a training program that combines all my different interests. Hoping this is a step in the right direction!

I may not follow this perfectly every week. Life will happen and you need to be flexible. What’s most important is to have a plan and show up for yourself every day!
