    To that point, if my running/bike volume is high, I’m not inclined to do a lower body workout in the gym. Am I missing something?

    Missing something? What do you mean?

    If you prioritize your strength/body comp over your running/cycling, then you should be lifting first, running/cycling when you feel up to it. If you prioritize your running/cycling, then you should be running/cycling and lifting when you feel up to it.

    Ensuring I keep regular with my strength training has been the best thing I have done for my running. My min/km has increased steadily over the last 12 months.
