Am I ever going to get serious about trying to achieve this goal? I keep getting these damn reminders and I keep deleting them.
Here’s my dilemma: I am a RUNNER. I do not lift weights. I run.
I weighed 171.6 lbs this morning, which I suppose may be considered heavy by many runners’ standards. Bear in mind that I am 6’1”.
I’d like to weigh around 165 lbs – WAIT, not because I think I’d look sexy – but solely because I think I could run faster.
Can I run a sub-3 marathon weighing 170+? Don’t know. Back to the question at hand…
Will I be able to bench press my weight—THREE REPS?!?
Not today. Not tomorrow. But maybe someday. If pressed (no pun intended), I am thinking that I could put up 3 reps of 145 lbs right now. And THAT’s on a very good day. Bear in mind again, I have not attempted a bench press in, what, like a year??!?
