2026 Strength Training Accountability Thread

[WDW 4 ME]

I’m late to this party but definitely want to join in!!! I’ve had a pretty successful week with my dedicated strength workouts. I have found I like to pair arms and abs and do leg days by themselves. Did 2 leg workouts, one at 60mins and the other at 45mins. Also did 2 arm/ab days, both around 45 minutes. Looking forward to short run tomorrow before long run Saturday and a rest day on Sunday!

Last night, I debated about staying home and doing a lighter workout with my home gym equipment but everyone was annoying me. So, that was my call to hop in the car. Hey, I got to follow the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile to the gym! Oddly enough, they were going to Trader Joe's, which I don't think carries anything Oscar Mayer (or parent company Kraft/Heinz).

Last night was moderate to high impact on elliptical and I shifted what was supposed to be a leg day to upper body. Only machine I skipped (occupied) was the rear delt. I flipped lower body to Saturday because I typically experience a boost of strength after a moderate leg day. Not sure if it's because I walk vs. run, but I get a pretty positive surge even going into a long mileage day. Oh, and last night I also made time for the hydromassage bed. I'm often rushing to get home but with races this weekend, a little extra self care seemed worthwhile.

Friday check in, nothing today due to unrelated to running Drs orders but I knew it was coming so changed this week to Sun Tuesday Wednesday and should get an extra workout in tomorrow
Of course no running for ten days is a different story, I’ll give him four at the most.

Finished off the week with an upper body class before a recovery run. Bloody pushups might just be the death of me!

Honestly, I only spend like 1-1.5 hours a week lifting, but it makes me a totally different kind of tired than running 30+ miles a week.

Ya it's kinda weird... With running I'm generally tied because I do that instead of sleep and coffee fixes it .

Unfortunately coffee doesn't seem to help with lifting fatigue.
