Day 1 - Resistance training.
30 minutes of press ups, pull ups, dips and sit ups.
3 sets of maximum reps on each.
Followed by 10 mins of skipping
Day 2 - Cardio
2/3 mile run as fast as I can.
This is then repeated until I've done 3 of each day in every week.
I will swim as well on cardio days, depends how I feel.
Did my first week last week and feel great. I no longer have any pains from lifting weights, like I have done before. This kind of training suits me perfect!!!
In the coming weeks I will shake it up a bit and start doing some circuits in my resistance training. Not fit enough right now!!

When are you planning on going on a PRMC/POC?
If I was you I would include at least 1 long slow run in your sched (45mins).
I doubt that you are doing 3 sets of max reps on each. If you can complete 60press ups max, for example, you wouldnt be able to do that a second time unless you rested for a prolonged period of time afterwards. If you could do, for example, 60 press ups twice in succesion, theoretically your maximum levels would be higher than 60.
Like weight training, if you could bench press 100kg max, you would only be able to do one rep. If you could do 2 reps, 100kg would not be your max.

Haven't got PRMC date yet, still need more time to train, my fitness levels are not what I want them to be yet!! I want to be more than ready when I go.
My press ups sets usually work out at about 45, 35 and 30.... around that amount anyway. So you see I still need more time to get my first set up to the 60/70 mark. Also my sit ups are crap can only manage 37 at the moment and then I am fooked!!!
Will put in a long run as well, good idea I think. Do you think only 1 a week will be OK??
Pull ups I'm fine with, I can do 10 in my first set. I know dips aren't really needed but i still like doing them and can do tonnes of those, they're easy.... i wish they were part of the tests!!!
Also findinf it hard to get rid of the stiffness from my running, any ideas to ease the pain so it doesn't hinder my other running???
It's so different training without weights and only focusing on how much weight you lift, I mean who cares if you can lift 120kg on the bench, what does that show anyway?? I'd much rather be able to do a a super cicuit of press ups, pull ups, dips, sit ups and still be willing to do more!!!!!!
Being fit rather than strong and bulky and looking like I'm carrying a couple of rolled up carpets is great!!! Let's show them there bodybuilders a thing or 2!!
