This body we have is pretty darn clever and adaptable. I must say your plan is wonderfully ambitious.

I don’t suppose you’ve got a link to that test?

Anyway, it reminds me of one of my favorite group workouts, the 800m circuit (aka the 400m circuit somedays).

Warm up well – 1+ miles of running, ending at a track.

Drills for form – 200m each of:
high knees, butt kicks, skipping, crab walking, etc
(finish with some 100m strides)

Circuit training:
  Run 800m at about 85% max exertion
  Do ten reps of the following:
    Sit ups
    Push ups
    Lunges (10 each leading leg)
    Vertical jumps
    Step ups (10 each leading leg)
      Start with both feet on the ground
      Put one leg up on a bench
      Bring the other leg up so that your knee is at chest level
  Repeat with – and this is the key – no rest between intervals

The first couple are easy. Then it gets a lot harder.

I agree, we need to change routines about every 6 weeks. It’s just a matter of listening to your body. It’ll let you know it’s time for a change.

At this time last year, I really cut back on the miles and didn’t even bother with weights. This year, I refuse to do less than 20 miles a week and I have promised myself two trips to the weight room per week. And maybe some elliptical or bike to really shake things up. I’d even like to get to a pool somehow and learn how to do more than just not drown.

I’m sure your body is going to be quite surprised by the things you’re throwing at it, and will respond quickly. That’s another thing about our bodies — they sure are thirsty to master new things.
