Push Up and Marathon Joggling Progress

Here is just a quick update on a couple of projects I’ve been conducting.

6 week 100 push up challenge

Today, I started week 3 of the 6 week push up challenge.

It required push up sets of 25, 17, 17, 15 and a maximum attempt (32).

It was a bit difficult and I only maxed out at 32 push ups on the last leg of the workout. For comparison, last week at the max phase I was able to do 55 push ups. This is good because it means that I’m making progress. The first 2 weeks didn’t seem like they were doing much because they felt pretty easy.

Marathon training

That’s not the case with the 3-day a week joggling marathon training that I’ve been following. While there is much less running, the running that you do is hard.  Sprints, tempo runs, long distances.  You get to the point where you look forward to a 20 mile joggling run because the pace is easier.  After doing joggling sprints, you usually feel like you want to puke.

Hopefully, they will both make me a stronger, faster, and better joggler.

But if they don’t, at least it’s been fun trying something new.
