Today was a crosstraining day. I did full body weight circuit followed by 30 mins on the elliptical. That is my standard cross training. It was my first time to do lower body weights since the marathon. It felt good. I think I am going to focus on loosing a few pounds for the rest of the year so when I kick up my Boston training I am already lean.

Right on man. So when your doing your Xtraining days you do your lifting?? And then back it up with eliptical? I do like what you have done with making the FIRST training more personallized. I am going to try that a bit more. So pls make sure to keep things detailed here. :)

That's how I role. Weights and elliptical. I think as a runner it is important to lift weights in a cardiovascular way. No stopping and looking at the weights for a minute or two between reps. Just keep on going to the next one.

Ya before I started into serious running I worked with a personal trainer 3 days and so the FIRST allowed me to train the Xtraining with her and then run the others. Worked great for all but my legs. And we always did circuits too. To keep it cardio and more endurance. I just cant afford it anymore 600 a month is too much. Very nice man.
