Riffing on last Wednesday's workout, I'd like to keep up with the same basic approach today.
I don't want to sound like a broken record, but it is important to keep one's objectives in mind at all times, especially when it comes to exercise. Aimless workouts are good for a breath of fresh air, a week here or there, but at the end of the day, we're exercising for a reason. My reason is (currently) to become a stronger runner, and that involves shedding some upper body mass and increasing my endurance base (mileage).
To that end, I'm electing to repeat last Wednesday's workout - but increase the resistance on the weights slightly. I don't have to worry about building or retaining upper body mass because this workout isn't hefty enough to warrant that kind of concern. As for running, I might choose to run a little farther today, but at the minimum, I should run no less than I have run throughout the week.
Today's workout is as follows:
