Your Running/Weight Training Routine

:happy: Wanted to get some examples of your running/weight training routines. I am working my way back from a calf injury and I am currently running 3 days a week, weight training once a week, yoga once a week and abs/core at least twice a week. What weight training routine do you use that works? What schedule do you use that works? I am using the Furman Institute of Running program which calls for running 3 days a week and cross training some of the other days with 2 days of rest.

I think your current routine sounds really good! I've been doing running 3 days a week (2 shorter runs, 1 long one) + circuit training 2 days a week (class is like CrossFit, uses weights), and spin for 1 day a week. It worked for me -- better than when I was running 5x/week. I definitely feel stronger, my form is better, and running seems easier with this balance.
Sounds like you've already got a good one!0 -
I run 3 times a week Monday: Long slow run Wed: Tempo Run Friday: HIIT sprints 30 secs. work and 60 secs. of rest.
Tues Thurs and Sat.: Bike, Rower or Jacobs Ladder min. of 30 mins.

Saturday I usually do Arms or core depending on what I feel didn't get worked enough during the week.0 -
