Hi there,
Any other folks have the same problem that I encounter when trying to balance running with gym work.
I have found that since pushing my milage up my stamina is great but my strength has diminished.
I go to the gym around 2-3 times a week but only do any leg work every 2 weeks as it takes my legs around 4 days to recover.
The problem with mixing gym and barefoot running is that I seem to lose the precise coordination required to run for those few days after the gym due to muscle soreness. This can be problematic with barefoot running as you can pick up an injury if your not running with the correct timing.
The weights I'm lifting are what I would have regarded as warm up weights a few years ago but now they feel heavy.
So, what sort of regimes have others found to be beneficial and what sort of timing do you have between gym and running?
Cheers
Neil
