Hello!

I've been running 3 miles a day for the last 2 months in order to shed excess fat which ive done successfully. Now i want to start building muscle and definition.

I've devised a weekly routine which I'm hoping will be effective but would love some advice...

Monday - 10 to 15 minute jog, high protein meal, wait for an hour then lift weights.
Tuesday - 10 to 15 minute jog, high protein meal, wait for an hour then lift weights.
Wednesday - 30 to 45 minute cardio.
Thursday - 10 to 15 minute jog, high protein meal, wait for an hour then lift weights.
Friday - 10 to 15 minute jog, high protein meal, wait for an hour then lift weights.
Saturday - 30 to 45 minute cardio.
Sunday - 30 to 45 minute cardio.

Im using a split weight routine, focusing on two muscle groups for each day (eg Chest and Triceps).

Is this going to be effective for muscle growth and definition?

    in before the broscience.

    yes probably...

    The best way to do these things is to be consistent. If you can sustain this then there is no reason you cannot build.

    Make sure that the Strength training is progressive i.e. you keep adding weight or volume or reps each time if at all possible.

    Also the timing of the meals is not as critical as everyone makes out. Just make sure you are eating slightly above TDEE

    Hope this helps
