Hi runners!

I have a question for all of you with more wisdom than me!

I'm not currently training for a race. I'm working on keeping/building my base and I recently starting endurance training (free weight circuit). Soooo my schedule looks like:

Sunday: Long run (around 10 miles)
Monday: OFF
Tuesday: Gym circuit + easy run (4 miles)
Wednesday: Easy run (4 or 5 miles)
Thursday: Gym circuit
Firday: Hill repeats
Saturday: AM: Gym circuit + PM: Easy run (4 miles)

total: 3 gym session
running 27-30 miles

I'm having a hard time doing both the gym session + running on tuesday night. I don't want to skip that run because I think my mileage is already low....

Should I go to the gym on monday and only run on tuesday ? That would mean no rest day.

Is a complete rest day necessery or the way I'm breaking down my runs enough rest ?

Thanks for any advices! :)
Josée

    You could run or lift in the morning and do the other at night if possible.

    I start work to early to do that. I may also be a bit to lazy haha
    I guess it's what I should do... I hate running in the dark!

    As you're still building your base perhaps you could drop the hill repeats and do your 4 mile run on Friday? Personally i wouldn't worry too much about speed work for a while.......
