I did pull ups/dips, buncha arm stuff, ab ball, and crunches using a pull down weight machine. Like this but facing the other way



The I did an hour on the treadmill, then squats and leg machines.

Long run day. 13 miles in 2.5 hours. Who knows how much elevation gain.

Feeling thrashed. Gotta keep it up so I can run the Portland marathon in October.

Cable crunches are awesome for the serratus.


I love all-in-one exercises that hit multiple areas quickly. Moreso now that time is a huge factor in anything I do.

I found another really good one, Burpees. I do them alot more strict that in this video. I always favor slow, controlled motion with concentration on good form. I do a distinct squat/squat thrust, a distinct pushup (not just using gravity for the negative portion of the rep) and a distinct vertical leap. These will get you breathing.
