I don't know if I'm doing it right but on my gym sessions I do very similar combo of exercises as above, plus 15 mins on the rowing machine. Maybe the rowing would target some of the upper body areas you mention? I certainly get a bit of DOMS across the shoulders, back and sides when I've not done a row for a while. And I like the idea of a bit of bonus aerobic work-out, without pounding the pavements.

I've started to include some running specific strength training in my weekly routine. Genreally do the following a couple of times a week:
I find on longer runs my upper body (shoulders and back-of-sides [don't know name of muscles] start to tire so anything to target those areas? I'm thinking of adding shoulder and bench press...
Anything else I should consider throwing into the mix for general running strength as well as a bit of upper body?
(I know the strength/weight training thread might be a better place for this question but this is primarily to aid my running)
I'm tapering this week (Thames Trot next Sunday) so good to spend spare energy planning my next training phase!
