hello all, I am new to running..
I am 25yo weight lifter, and am going to be doing my first half marathon.. I have no idea how to programme my training. Obviously I would like to maintain strength as best I can and cut back on my lifting volume maybe lighten the squats a bit..
Is it just a case of slowly adding in miles and allow my lifting program to take care of my strength and power. The power exercise I do is powercleans which teaches full body speed under a load and is used in most sporting endeavors, sprinting, football, rugby etc.
I am thinking of something like this:
Mon - 2mile slow pace run.
Tuesday - strength training and maybe some fast aerobic cardio.
Wednesday - 3mile slow pace
Thurs - strength training and maybe some fast aerobic cardio.
Fri - - 2mile slow pace
Sat - rest
Sun - 4 mile slow
aim to increase distance for runs and maintain strength in lifting, fast paced cardio or cross training to cover all bases..
