Thank you Marianne, I’m a beginner and just finished this workout. I have practiced KBs before (not an absolute beginner) and have the technique. I felt so good at 2 rounds I tacked on a third using 8 & 9 kg KBs. I have put these in my workout log with pride. Cheers!

Hey,

This depends on how much other training you are doing? In order to reduce risk of injury and over-training, you need to strike a balance between runs and KB training. Believe it or not, the KB training will benefit you greatly in prep for the half marathon. I’d also advise you to limit the amount of long runs you do to 1 per week and then do shorter runs maybe 2 times. Add in 2 short KB sessions and build it up to 3.

Hope this helps.

Hi Marianne, I have just ordered some kettlebells and stumbled across this site looking for workouts/exercises to do with them. I have this question: As I will be using the kettlebells as a supplement to my running (training for half marathon), how osten should I train? Would you still say three times a week? or would just two times be good? Should I maybe start out with just two times a week and then increase to three? My goal in using the kettlebells will be primarily fun and “assisting” my progress in running. Thanks 🙂

In reply to dimis. Hi Dimis, I am not sure exactly what you mean, but generally, if something hurts, stop! Try and again another day, or sit on to a box so you can control the depth better. Regress back to bodyweight, then start adding weight when you feel ready :)

In reply to Lauren. Great job Lauren, just keep working at it and progressing the weights, eating in a slight surplus of calories, and you'll soon get rid of those scrawny comments :)
