Work It Out

I think I finally have a place in plan for strength training. For now I am going to do one move 5 days a week. It will go something like this:

Sunday: Push ups and/or rows (upper body horizontal)
Monday: Romanian deadlifts, glute bridges, Bulgarian split squats (posterior chain)
Tuesday: assited chin ups and/or shoulder press (upper body vertical)
Wednesday: lunges and/or goblet squats and/or kettlebell style swings (quads/front legs)
Thursday: planks, swiss ball crunches, prone jackknife (core/abs)

I figure I will cover all the body bases but breaking it down like this allows me to still get in the mileage running wise that I want in the time I have to workout.
