Running and T25

TyFit08

I really enjoy running. I had to take a break due to health reasons for several months and I am getting back into it, rebuilding my miles. I am currently on week 7 of C25K Distance. I am also doing Focus T25. I am getting great results from the program and for the first 2 weeks I was able to run and to T25 the same day, but now in my 5th week of T25, I can't seem to pull that off anymore. Even when I run on non-T25 days, I am struggling to get through my runs. My runs are getting longer and T25 will get more intense as I head to Beta next week. Losing weight is my first priority, but I also would like to manage both, any recommendations?

Is it a timing issue maybe? Are you running right after T25 (or vice versa)? Maybe do one workout in the morning and the other in the evening.

I tried it before. The benefits was awesome lost a lot although I gained it all back after plantar faciitis and knee and back pain plague me due to overtraining.

Run 2x a week, do t25 2x a week....

Either split the workouts morning and evening or do them on alternate days. Saturday and Sunday are kind of "off days" from T25 and your body could probably handle a shorter run on the same day as ab intervals and speed 1.0 so maybe do it that way. I haven't gotten to beta yet, so have no advice for those weeks.

I'm doing Insanity and run 2-3 times a week 5k every other day and Sunday is my rest day.

I'm starting insanity tomorrow and also run 5k twice a week and 10k once. I might need to adjust or shorten my runs but I'll see how it goes.
