Julie: As one of your many stalkers I find it incredibly difficult to write you...with that said I have come to ask advice. I want to be able to do sets of pull-ups and am asking you what training process you went through to achieve your success. Did you get to the point that you could do 200 push ups prior to trying pull ups? I am clueless. I run and just completed my first marathon in Memphis last weekend. Now would be a great time for me to focus on some weight training and I would appreciate any advice you are willing to share. Sincerely, Karen
Karen, why on earth do you find it difficult to write to me? I am an open book. Have you done any upper body lifting? If you are starting as a beginner I'd suggest full body workouts 1-2 days a week first. Let your body get accustomed to the weights before you begin to train seperate muscle groups. Can you do a push up? Feel free to email me at julberg6@aol.com and tell me where you are now in upper body fitness. Congratulations on your marathon. Be proud!! Enjoy your accomplishment. PLEASE don't find it difficult to write to me, OK?
12 years ago in the haze of a hangover I read Oprah's Make The Connection. It changed my life. I lost the fat, I put down the booze, began eating in a healthy manner, began to walk, then run. Run On! I first began running marathons. Liked it so much I found some crazy ultra runners in MN who showed me the trail and ultramarathons. 39 marathons and 40+ ultra marathons later ( 15 100 mile ultramarathons in the past 5 years) I am sober, lean and happy. I am now inspiring others to run, as Oprah inspired me. Coaching beginning runners is a gift I like to give every day. It's not just about running..it's about all that comes with it: goal setting, empowerment, a belief in oneself, being true to oneself. 2007 brought 4 100 mile finishes, 2008 brought 4 100 mile finishes, a BQ and PR at TCM, a PR at the 100 mile trail distace at Javelina Jundred: 23:13. 2009 brought another PR at the 100 mile distance! Amazing. Lean Horse 100, a dream come true. What holds for 2010? WHO KNOWS?? NOT I!
