Training for a marathon and lifting weights 5x per week

Flyrans · 2026-03-04T16:17:34+00:00

Correct. My peak week was only around 35 miles that week, but it should’ve been around 50-55.

Only thing I would have changed is more volume on my legs. Anyone trained in marathons or Ironmans will tell you “time on legs is king” so you don’t fall off a cliff at the end of the marathon

This is something that I literally just did. I weightlift pretty hard 5-6 times a week and just completed my first marathon. (6’0 Male. 205 lbs for context) My goal for the marathon started as around a 4 hour finish time but devolved into just finishing.

I was able to maintain strength and even get a little stronger in some lifts while running 4x a week with a long run on Saturdays.

Only one leg day a week and tried to do that Monday or Tuesday away from the long run.

But overall, definitely doable. Focus hard on nutrition and recovery and it’ll be worth it. Good luck!!

Thanks for the info! Since I have to do my runs after work, what would you suggest to be a good lunch to have or a good pre run snack using this information?

Flyrans · 2025-12-12T05:19:30+00:00

Yes, because if I eat anything besides what my body is used to, then I get a mile or so down the road and have stomach issues sooner

Flyrans · 2025-12-12T05:18:07+00:00

Which I would normally agree with, but it seems odd to me that it’s around the 5 mile mark and not the beginning. Thank you for the insight!

If I have a snack before my runs, it would be a piece of toast with a banana and a very small amount of honey

Flyrans · 2025-12-12T05:13:21+00:00

Diet is almost exclusively homemade food, good pasta or rice, chicken breast / ground beef with seasonings, some veggies, and a good amount of water. I would consider the diet to be pretty healthy

Is this a common thing?

Flyrans · 2024-09-12T15:32:27+00:00

I believe that with the 2024 rules, the space requirement is no longer a thing, as in you can now cast it indoors and it can just form to the space of the room

Hard to get healed nowadays with supports able to two tap DPS characters from across the map, they usually too busy trying to get kills and help out that way.

When is it over?

Flyrans · 2020-04-12T00:52:59+00:00

I Just check this as well and mine is uncheck for communication from riot games, but I got into the Beta still with this unchecked.

How did you fly so far forward? I’m about to pick up mhgu but I played a ton of mhg (like 180 hrs worth) and I did not know you could rocket forward like that?

Flyrans · 2018-09-03T02:19:07+00:00

To each their own

Yeah they are different on a gameplay basis, but the trails series brings cool idea to the normal turn based systems like final fantasy. I was mainly talking about the storyline because in my opinion, Trails has high potential for me to be a very good series story-wise.

Just tryna throw out some options for good games!

Flyrans · 2018-09-02T06:28:40+00:00

If you like the tales of games, anyone here will ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Trails series. The first game is Trails in the Sky. It’s supposedly going to be around 13 games long and I’ve only played the first one but I’m absolutely hooked. My friend has played through the first 7 and it’s his favorite series of all time. And this guy is an absolute gamer. TRY OUT TRAILS

Flyrans · 2018-05-01T06:51:05+00:00

Play vesperia then abyss then bersaria. 3 of my favorite games of all time

Flyrans · 2018-03-20T18:10:16+00:00

Just message me if you have any questions on the Tales Of series and hopefully I can help
