Circuit Training

I had wanted to run 5 miles tonight, but after circuit training my quads were SORE, and continued to be sore all day. While it's only been about 4 weeks since the marathon, I guess I'm still "recovering". I decided to lay off and run tomorrow, to give my legs a little healing time.

I did do the circuit training though:

Circuit 1
Wide-Grip Lat Pulldowns (drop set) 1-3 reps @ max, drop 1/3, then 6-8 more
Medium-Underhand-Grip Pulldowns 15 reps, then hold midpoint until failure
Seated Hamstring Curls 15 reps
Jumping Lunges 10 reps on each leg
Hill Run 1 min, incline 12, 8.5mph

Circuit 2
Terry Pulls (pyramid up with weight) 20, 12, 6-8
Standing Lat Pulldowns 10 reps
Back Kicks w/Shoulder Press 10 reps each leg (20 total)
Hill Run 1 min, incline 12, 8.5mph

Circuit 3
Seated Cable Rows 1-3 @ max, drop 1/3, then 6-8 more
Step-ups 40 reps alternating (20 per leg)
Butt Kicks 1 min

Circuit 4
Incline Bicep Curls 10 reps each arm (20 total)
Pike Crunches 25 reps
Seated Hamstring Curls 10 reps each leg (20 total)
Butt Kicks 1 min

Circuit 5
Supermans Hold midpoint for 1 min
Boat Pose Hold pose for 30 secs
Reverse Plank Hold 1 min

31 minutes total, 248 calories burned.
