Strength #1. Push-Ups

  • Kneel on all fours with the hands a little wider than shoulder width
  • Straighten your legs out behind you so that your weight is distributed between your hands and toes
  • Bend the elbows outwards to lower the chest towards the floor
  • Push back up to the starting position

Training at Parliament House: Last night Craig, Ewen, me, Helen & Jen ran the early run, then for the main session Abi, Andrew, Andy, Bronwyn, Caroline, Colin, Craig, Kym, Neil, Ruth & Warrick ran six intervals on five minutes of a 660m circuit which included one grasy hill three times. After the session I went to a meeting where a friend, one of the participants, was telling me about her best friend Vanessa and Vanessa's husband Warrick who had just run the Sydney marathon .... small world, same Warrick.
