The trick, at this point is whole body workouts. Weight train the entire body on one day and cardio with waistline workout the next.

I did it for about 5 months with injuries included, and ran the 2007 Boston in 30 minutes less time. 3 hr 45 min. No strength conditioning for reps. The weights are all about making sure the muscle works the way it is designed so the whole body can perform as on unit over the distance run into town.

Have you run distance at all before?

bamf,

exactly that.

Its all about the strength to weight ratio. All resistance training does is
promote that specific area to get stronger. Now take that muscle group
and pair it with its opposite. Bicep with tricep, or bench press with seated
pulley row. Goodbye muscle pulls and cramps. It's all relational.

For example, I limit myself to only half my body weight in the overhead
press, bi curl, tri ext. This keeps the body balanced and symetrical. Walking
hunched over is not a sign of a huge chest. Its the sign of a weak back that
can't keep the shoulders pulled back.

The waist line is never weight trained. You never want muscle, only tone.
Therefore, do the same workout for you lower back and you would for your
abdominals. Your posture will improve dramatically.
