Week 8-12 Post natal training

 Week 8-9-10-11-12

My weekly gym training schedule since week 8 through 12 has been similar slowly adding more running sessions and stair sessions in preperation for my race in October. I have also added in 2 x hiit sessions to increase my cardiovascular and muscular endurance.
