This is the 2nd phase of this process, during this I will be doing 2 major things. One thing I will be doing is building my miles each week by 1 mile a week and every third week dropping back. I will start this with 6 total miles for week one and by week 6 I will hopefully have built up to 12 miles per week.
The second thing I will be doing is build up my general strength to work into the third phase. I will do that using the same lifts as before, with the same rep/set plan and will just try to continue to just add weight each week until I reach what will be good working weight, which means a heavy enough weight to maintain or mabey add alittle bit of strength but not so heavy that it will counter balance what I'm trying to accomplish with running.
Once I reach that weight instead of trying to continue to add weight I'm going to keep that weight but add more sets for a total of 5 sets of 5 reps. The reason why is if I added more weight this wouldn't really help with my endurance but if I do more sets that equals more work being done which means more endurance, or at least that's what I'm hoping will happen.
The two workouts I will use will be this:
workout a
sets reps exercise
3x5 back squat
3x5 overhead press
5x1 deadlift
workout b
3x5 back squat
3x5 overhead press
5x3 power cleans
