Strength Day

I've been trying to get more running into my weeks. I'm trying the barefoot running thing and it seems to be working out. I have gradully increased my mileage and avoided any injuries so far. Although I'm running more, I still want to keep a base of strength (or strength-type training). For me, that looks like this...

All with the 24kg kettlebell:

Clean and Press x 5,4,3,2,1 r/l

Swings x 10/10 , 30 secs rest x 5, 20 secs rest x 5


Swinging Planks - 20 sec on / 10 sec rest x 8

Thats it. I'm still trying to figure out how much I can strength train while trying to effectively increase my mileage while running. Eventually, if you push them too hard simultaneously, they both hit a wall. I will continue to try and balance work and recovery while maintaining at least a base of strength and power endurance (ala VO2Max VWC) and cardiovascular conditioning (ala running and VO2Max VWC). We'll see how this works...
