[QUOTE="IZ THE LEG END, post: 1136152, member: 195751"] Hey, No excusing required good question! My answer would be no this is purely from my own personal preference... 5x5 stronglifts there is an app and online so you can see but this is purely barbell work to increase core strength ie legs shoulders chest etc... It won't tone you up not increase your running distance... You have to be careful with strength and definition training because I find if not monitored and adjusted correctly it can have an adverse effect on your running... Try mixing your running up... Trail runs are perfect for this... Throw some mud in dirty streams etc... Just makes it interesting I do a 10k route and at the end there is a natural spring you can cool down and get a drink at its like a reward!!! Join a running club... I know friends who use fitmums and friends these are good but don't particularly cater for longer distance after 6 miles... But most running clubs are approachable and not intimidating as you run in similar abilities and help each other out usually utilising a stronger runner who will push you along hill sprints and interval training is good... Heart rate based training also can be good but you'd perhaps need some guidance and what zones etc to work in to increase distance. But for me my favourite is pool work All over body workout when swimming and you can always try running in the pool I do you feel a bit a of a boob the first time but then you realise there lots of people doing this... This promotes less pressure on your shins and legs but still gives you a good workout... Post run I monitor my levels and also use pure protein supplement for muscle repair... Right, sorry I waffled I just come in from a half marathon in Saudi!!! 30deg todaY ready for a shower and to be carried to dinner!!! Hahaha Good luck hope this helped and didn't confuse you too much Izzy [/QUOTE]
