My New Workout Routine

Our workout room.

Over almost the last two decades I've run over 800 miles each year, and most years over 1,100, with a few years topping over 2,000. Back in 2012 and 2015 - 2016 I was in the best shape of my life and ran a 2:50 marathon in 2012 and would have ran sub-2:50 in 2015 and 2016 if the course of the now defunct Milwaukee Marathon had been measured correctly. You can read the race reports (three parts) here.

This year, however, I'm doing something totally different with my training. This winter, I plan on running hardly at all, and instead focus on resistance training and pedaling the bike trainer for cardiovascular fitness.

I don't love the trainer — it's not as fun as running and the trainer also squeaks (something I've trying to fix).

Although the trainer is a little boring, I have been watching some decent TV, which makes the time go faster. In my next post I'll share some things I've watched while pedaling.

Be well.
