training for 10k and Cathe. Anyone done this?

[ChicagoJen]

Hi All,

Has anyone trained for a 10k while still doing Cathe workouts? I'm excited to train for a new goal, yet I still want to keep the precious muscle that I bust my rear for

Then again, I don't want to over-train...hmmm...

Any thoughts? Thanks everyone! Keep up the hard work!

I did! I ran 3x a week, did Cathe weights 2-3x, and maybe a Cathe cardio 1x. Good Luck!

I always use Cathe while training for a race. I have a 10K on 10 April. I never seem to lose much muscle mass from the running. The longest races I train for though are half marathons.

I think the strength training helps with the running. It does for me and also helps prevent injury.

Good luck on your race and have fun...

Have a great day!!!

I've always mixed videos w/running in the summer. I typically run b 2-3X per week & do vids 2-3X/week in the summer. I usually do strenth training just 1-2X/week...as I'm a cardio junkie. I've only run one 10K...last summer...when I was 8 wks pregnant. It was tough. I've run 5Ks nno problem. I'm not sure if I'll run another 10K, as the last one was super hard. Maybe it was the pregnancy though...as many things R tougher when you're expecting!!!!
If you'd like, we could e-mail each other progress notes? So far I've only ran 2X this season. Plan to latwer today though. Ig interested send an e-mail my way : [email protected]
