I hope no one minds me posting my work out schedule, i hope it can help people and people can help critique it and help me. I am not training to be an ultimate fighter, my main goals are fitness/conditioning , improving my running (5k/10k), and sharpening up my upper body, i am on the light side 150 pounds so i actually prefer not to loose weight, and maybe gain weight (which i doubt will happen with running 5x a week) any thoughtful critique is welcomed
RUNNING
5x a week running with total mileage going from 20-30. long runs dont exceed 10 miles, usually 7-9 (i know thats barely considered long)
1 day out of the 5 is speed training including fartlek/hills/tempo runs/half milers/quarter milers and others. My 2 days off are after 3 days of consecutive workouts
Upper Body
Swimming 3x a week (not intense but a decent workout)
Every other day i alternate between push ups and pull ups
PUSHUPS- i can only do 30 pushups without a stop so i do one set of 18 15 7 with 10s rest between each then throughout the day i do the same set twice one with wide push ups (or feet on chair) and one with hands close together
On days i dont do pushups i do pullups
I have been following this routine for 4 weeks so far and am curious what other people think of it and any critique that could help me out.
i know im not going to be a bodybuilder and thats fine, all i want is a slightly muscular upper body , able to do fast 5/10k's and be overall fit
so.....?
