Training Logs

My original intent was to publish my weekly training logs as I train for the upcoming 1/2 marathon this Labor day.  Unfortunately I just haven't had time to compile the information and publish it, so I decided that I would just put up my general plan, which is as follows:

Monday: bike for at least 30 minutes, weight training - chest exercises, 3 - 4 movements, 3 or 4 sets to failure

Tuesday: Tempo run for at least 30 minutes, weight training - back exercises, 3 - 4 movements, 3 or 4 sets to failure

Wednesday: off

Thursday: Sprints or Hill running, weight training - arm exercises, 4 movements, 3 sets to failure

Friday: off

Saturday: Long run, 5 miles minimum, increasing as I get closer to the race.

Sunday: Weight training - leg exercises, squats, dead lifts, etc. Normally I like to go heavy, but with all the running it's too hard on my knees, so I use moderate weights and do not go to failure.
