Today was day one with a "real" trainer. The trainer I chose is a middle and long distance runner with several triathalons and marathons under his belt. He has a reputation at our club for kicking people's asses. Suffice to say, he lived up to his reputation today. Here is the itinerary, as best as I can remember it:
- start with a heartrate elevating 60-second sprint on the Schwinn Airbike with a goal of keeping it above 70 rpms.
- A set of squats (1 minute)
- another 60-second bike sprint
- A set of squats (1 minute)
Then over to the Nautilus...
- Hip flexor machine
- Hip Abduction
- Hip Adduction
- Butterly flex
- Overhead pull-down
- forward row/press
- Pushups
- Lunges with weights (my legs were shaking so badly that I could hardly do this)
- Finish with a leg press
I'm sure that I forgot some exercises, but in general, it really hurt. It was exactly what I wanted. I learned that I have great length strength, which I will continue to build - now I will try to work for maximum endurance. That is what I will need most when I begin marathon training later this year.
