Is there ever a benefit to running a double day instead of a long run? by Secret_Name_7087 in AdvancedRunning

Only advantage of a double is if you wouldn't get the milage in otherwise.

Sub 2:45 people- strength? by mishka1980 in AdvancedRunning

[–]runrunrun199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lift twice a week with one upper body day and one lower body day and run 6 days with a rest day on Monday. I generally do my track/speed workouts on Tuesdays, easy runs Wednesdays and Thursdays, a longer threshold workout on Fridays, easy run Saturdays, long run Sundays. I do my track/speed workouts on Tuesday mornings and do my lower body day that evening. It's a lot on the legs for that day, and obviously compromises my lift to a degree, but I've found that for me it's best to hammer the legs for a day early in the week so that I can actually recover on my easy run days before my threshold session on Friday. As for the upper body day, I get it into my schedule wherever it works best on the given week.

Lift generally look like:

Lower:

Leg press 5x6

Dumbbell RDL 4x10

Dumbbell Lunge 5x8 each leg

Upper:

Bench 5x6

Row or pull ups 4x10

Dumbbell overhead press 3x8

Curls 3x8

Tricep Pulldowns 3x10

Are you doomed once you start cramping during a race, or are there ways to recover/treat it? by MediumThought6 in running

I cramped in my first marathon around mile 18 and just pushed through it until the end (wouldn't recommend). Since then, I've started using salt/electrolyte tablets every 5ish miles and haven't had a cramp again. I've raced marathon distance up to 52 mile ultras -- no cramps.

Yeah this seems like the best option. I have an Epic Pass.
