Well, its been a long time since I've updated this but I have been quite busy training for the Boston marathon. So to sum of up what I've been doing for the last 4 months, I am in week 4 of my Boston training program.
Throughout the November and December I focused mainly on strength training, both upper and lower body. I have also been shifting my strength training to functional strength training. Which means I am doing exercises that strengthens multiple muscle groups using free weights. This is beneficial because it not only strengthens your main muscle groups but also all of the secondary and counter-balancing muscles groups.
The focus of my training for the marathon has been on building my cardiovascular endurance. This means a lot of training in a high heart rate zone. For me around 170-185 beats per minute.
