2026 Strength Training Accountability Thread

[Dopey 2020]

I use Apple Watch as opposed to Garmin and log everything as functional strength training. I’m just tracking time, I have a pool of exercises that I pull from and track reps and moves in my head with a focus on getting a good full body workout. This is already ten times more structured than I was so for now it’s good enough for me.

Haven’t checked in, as things have been crazy, but staying on running and strength. Currently still feeling my leg workout from Saturday… made running fun yesterday!
Abs & arms today.

I did my regular 30 min lower body workout today, but I did make a little progress: First, I increased my weights a little for squats & deadlifts. But also, my goal is eventually to be able to stack strength & running on the same day, so that I can keep the strength training when I'm actually training for a race. Up to now I've been warming up on an elliptical before strength, but today I (slowly) ran (only a mile) on the treadmill as a warmup! I have to say I think my HR stayed a little more elevated during my strength workout with a run warmup instead of the elliptical. I can never get my HR high on an elliptical. Not sure if that's good or bad.
