As above...well, can't disagree with the old and bold can you I measured out roughly 3, 4 and 5 mile routes on a map. Easy enough if you live in a village, if you live in a town centre maybe harder. To be honest you don't need to run any further than that in your own time at home; even on leave at week 28 I only did a few 4 or 5 mile runs just to keep the CV ticking over...get your base fitnees, the Corps will do the rest. Just ask Skiffle

Okay, so ive packed in my day job against my better judgement, with the aim of getting myself PRMC fit again after injury asap.
Ive done research on the net and understand that a balance must be met between developing the various energy pathways etc in the body.
just looking for a bit of advise on my schedule below.
Monday
am - run 20 mins + 5 every week
pm - Circuit (6 excersises, wide arm + tricep pressups, dips, situps, knees to chest, knees to opp arm situps, 15 reps atm adding 5 every week 3 sets of)
eve (9/10pm) - run 20,10,5,5,5 with 3 min rest intervals between
Tuesday
am - Circuit as above
pm - 3x30 triceps, 3x35 situps, 3x3 pullups - adding per week
eve -20 min run adding 5 per week
Wednesday
Off
Thursday
am - 3x30 triceps, 3x35 situps, 3x3 pullups - adding per week
pm 20 min run adding 5 per week
eve - 1 mile fast warmup jog, followed by 1 min 20 m grid sprints - repeat 3 times
Friday
am circuit
pm - 3x30 tricep pushups, 3x35 situps + 3x3 pullups, adding each week
eve - 20 min run adding 5 per week
Saturday
Sunday
5 mile slow, slow, slow run
I want to know wether i have got a decent balance here between endurance, strength and VO2 max work here, just looking for some critiscim or advice. I dont have access to any gym, and the cirucits/pressups have to be done in the afternoon b4 5 as then the house where i workout in gets too crowded. Is kinda a problem

im pretty fooked really. Shouldnt of quit :s
Im guessing that it isnt enough then? Got any pointers - its not as if ive got anything else to f@#k do in the day anymore
just got over shin splints though, so dont wanna push too hard too quick and risk another fn 6 weeks off training
Wish there was a 'get fit quick' button on me somewhere. wheres the damn manual?

mark out two areas of fifty metres
run to one end , sprint back, do fifteen press-ups
run to one end , sprint back, do fifteen sit-ups
run to one end , sprint back, do fifteen burpees
and repeat, do it for 20 minutes and you'll be blowing out your arse, but after a few weeks when you find it easier you'll feel so much more powerfull whilst sprinting and doing press-ups
everything should be done at maximum effort except for the run there, and this will not only bring down your 1.5 mile run time, but build up your upper body strength no end
a month or so ago before i started doing this i could only manage a mile and half in 8:52 do about 60 press-ups and 79 sit-ups on a BPFA and i was stuck at round about this score for ages
now i can do the 1.5 mile in 8:30, 70+ press-ups and 80+ sit ups
what works for some might not work for everyone and you may want to vary the routine and who often you include it in a weekly session, take this skiffle dude's advise though he knows his a lot more about this kind of stuff than anyone else on here!

Yeah I think I have a problem with that. I don't know why as I`m not massively introvert. I think I`ll go find me a quite piece of land tomorrow, it will beat doing circuits in my back garden.
Circuits are something I really need to integrate more as I have no upper body strength and that's the only thing stopping me taking PRMC now.
Cheers.

circuits will build up your body strengh no question, if you include press-ups in it
