P90X and running

therealangd

Has anybody been able to complete the P90X program and maintain a maintenance running training program as well?

My P90X is here! My P90X is here!

So, I'm really excited to start that.

I'm also slated to run 3 more half marathons in the fall. So training for those and probably the last third of P90X are going to coincide.

I don't have the P90X in my hands yet, so I'm not quite sure how the program works, so correct me if I'm wrong.

I think that on my cardio days I'll be able to do a long run, and I think that on other days I'll be able to do a couple 40 minute 5k'ers first thing in the morning and do the P90X in the evenings.

After P90X, I'll have 4, 7 and 9 weeks to focus solely on the running.

I'm not concerned about the 3 halfs being so close, I just completed something similar in the last couple of months, so I know I can do that part.

And the long run on my cardio day is ok. I think.

I guess my main concern is getting in some easy runs on my other P90X days.

Is this doable? Any suggestions on helping to make it doable?

I think it would be. I don't run as 'far' as you do, but Cardio is Cardio and if that is something that you would do on a Cardio day then go for it.
