Hi Cathe, with warmer weather and melting snow (hopefully!) I was wondering if you would consider making an additional Running Rotation that would incorporate 2-3 different type of runs per week in addition to complementary strength training. Thanks for your consideration and all that you do!

You don't need Cathe to put this together for you.
if you are a runner already you can do this for yourself.
Take, for example, the following half-marathon plan and add in cross training workouts of your heart's desire. This plan is a model, use it as a template to suit your own needs, desires, timetable, soreness levels, etc. Such plans and models can also be found on the runnersworld link. They are all based around a running book that features the basic 3 runs per week model.

Thanks I will take a closer look at these !!
I was wondering how successful people have been combining strength training and cycling/running on the same day. In searching through Google, I came up with this discussion:
Weight Training and Running/Biking :: RunningForums.com :: The Need to Speed
General censuses was do the cardio first, eat good (plenty of protein) soon after the workout, a few hours later do your strength training.

Thanks Clare for this article. How I am going to be put my running/biking/strength training rotation together is becoming clearer. Previous years I didn't do much strength training and eager to keep it up this year.
Suppose to get 6 inches of snow today and more nx week, but Spring is coming!

X2 Stacy-I would love also to see a Running Rotation with a Cathe flair.
But I have learned a lot about what works for me, making my own version of the Rockbottom Rotation and than now when I am working a lot of hours for a couple months, how to shorten it up and at least maintain my fitness and be ready to step it again up in late April.
