:confused:I am in the process of training for a half marathon. Obviously my 4 running days are most important, but I would like to incorporate 2 total body weight training days into my routine. I was thinking something like:
Sunday-off work 12 hour day
Monday-speed work 3-4 miles running
Tuesday- power hour or similar
Wednesday- mid length run 5-8 miles
Thrusday- easy run 3-4 miles
Friday-power hour or similar
Saturday-long run 8-13 miles

If anyone thinks this is an appropriate workout schedule or has any ideas of a better one I would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks

I'm also training for a half marathon. I am doing 3 or 4 days running and 2 or 3 days of weight training. Your plan looks good. You may want to switch around your Thursday and Friday if your legs wind up sore from lifting. If you have STS, you may want to do the bonus leg work in meso 1 as an add-on to your strength work (the ball work in pyramid lower, Butts and Guts or Gym Style Legs would also work). The exercises in these are ones you will see on running sights to help prevent common running injuries.

Are you following a plan for the half? The week of the half you probably won't want lift the day before :)
