4x6x4kg curls, shoulder extensions & squats

Just a couple of little ones today. Around Battersea Park. My legs were pretty heavy til lunch time. But I felt good by the evening and my thigh is better than it has been for some time.

I topped up the day's running with some light weights. A recent addition. 4 lots of 6 repetitions of 3 exercises: dumbbell curls, straight arm shoulder extensions and squats. Each one with 4kg dumbbells. Three aims: 1. arm strength to help when I need to up my pace (it helps to drive with the arms first); 2. quad strength to give me more power in my stride; and 3. not to put on bulk. I'm aiming to do these 2 or 3 times a week initially.
