extra cardio

[bchgrl39]

Will our results with STS be negated if we add more cardio than the recommended 3x/week? I'm training for a marathon and running in addition to the 3x/week cardio and STS. If this is going to mess up my results I can drop the DVDs and just do the running as my cardio.

would love to know the answer to this. Not currently training for marathon but have it planned for the near future.

I trained for a marathon while doing P90x. I lifted heavy weights to combat muscle loss from all the miles I was logging. I did my runs on my cardio days. You will lose weight from running, but some of it will be muscle. I haven't started STS yet, but I can tell you that doing P90x while I was training for my race only helped me to maintain my current muscle mass. I did not lean out or gain any muscle. Also remember that the diet you consume for running will be different than the diet you use to build muscle mass.
