RUN AN EASY SIX MILES, THEN LIFT WEIGHTS: Remember, lift for strength by working to failure in two to three sets of eight repetitions each. "Work to failure" means to repeat the exercise until you can no longer maintain good form or perform the movement. Failure sounds like a bad thing, but it's not. It's just the term used to describe the point at which you have fatigued the muscles effectively enough to stimulate them to get stronger.
