LIFT WEIGHTS BEFORE YOU RUN
WEIGHT training after a run could be compromised, according to findings published in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research in October.
Male athletes were assessed during strength sessions that were completed after four different aerobic pre-workouts — including an easy 45-minute run, a steady 20-minute run, 5 x 3-minute intervals or 20 minutes steady running up a gradient of 6-9%.
The volunteers were asked to perform three sets of 6-10 repetitions at 70-80% of one repetition-maximum (1RM) of the five-exercise resistance session — which comprised the high pull, squat, bench press, deadlift and push press — after each of the runs. Results showed that they managed as many as 18.6% fewer total repetitions of the exercises compared to when they didn’t run beforehand.
