I've just started training for a ½ marathon in September. I've done 6-8km runs 3 or 4x a week for a couple of years now, but the step up is still proving tough.
I'm a fairly slim bloke, enjoy weights workouts, and have built up ok muscle bulk for my size - enough to maintain, not too much to become obsessive.
However, with running, I find I'm losing upperbody bulk quickly. Which I don't want to lose!
Does anyone have any suggestions as a course of action?
I run 4x week (long on weekends), and try and get at least 3 weights sessions in a week.
I eat healthily, and don't really drink.
I don't take any suppliments or protein drinks, as I don't want to bulk up - just maintain the bulk I have (and not get it around the belly!).
Help! Anyone?!
Is there something I should be trying - a drink / food / suppliment / type of training?
