Is it better...?

Hey guys! I do four miles a day, but after that, I'm exhausted. I always plan to do more toning, but never get to it! :/ Is it better to cut a mile and only do three so I have more energy to tone up, or suck it up and push myself to do the whole four, and then tone up? :)
Kisses!

    I would keep your running and toning days separate. I know when I'm done running the last thing I want to do is lift some weights. :smile:

    When you say tone up, do you mean strength training? If so, I say cut a mile and tone up. The toning will even help you with the running!

    I like both idea. I like to get my walking/running in on the same day I do my strength training. Im exhausted but i feel like i accomplished more. But I also see the benefits of splitting them into different days. You need time to recover from runs and strength training, so switching off will give you that time.
