Winter 2015 Training Plan

I took quite a bit of time to put together my winter training schedule. I've developed a new role with my friends and training partners - that of trainer!

What I have done is developed a plan to slowly boost cardio fitness while focusing on upper body strength. Still my weakness even after some big gains last year.

We're doing stronglifts and Hal Higdon half-marathon training for the next 12 weeks.

Where A and B correspond to the two Stronglifts sessions. Everyone is excited about the Stronglifts app and hoping for a really good winter training.

I'm just about to start week 3 and it is really good so far. Some hiccups with a sprained ankle, but I'm staying focused now that it has healed.
