Monday Ten Miler
Ran an enjoyable ten miles earlier today – most of it on the soft grass of the local soccer complex. It’s nice once in a while to get off the road and give the legs a break from the constant pounding on the asphalt and concrete. I also mixed in a bit of upper body strength work which I’ve been doing on similar runs for the last 4 or 5 weeks.
The workout went something like this:
Easy 1.5 mile warm up
5 soccer goal pull-ups
10 decline bleacher push-ups
10 reverse crunches
1200m grassy loop around the soccer fields incorporating 2 x 30 second sprints
Repeat pull-ups, push-ups, crunches & grassy loop five times
Cool down
To be honest, my arms felt a little tired from yesterday’s swim and hundred push-ups workout, so I just did 5 circuits instead of the planned 8. Not a bad effort though and a good start to the week.

I’ll bet that grass felt good after that fast 10k. Congrats on the great result and best of luck with the upcoming races. If you keep this up, I may have to try all that cross training myself…
