Sir RealNice, thanks. I think I’ll give 4 days a week M-Th a go and if I need to I can go to 3. Was mainly deterred from 4 cuz I thought I needed to throw a break day in the middle there, which would complicate things. But since going four days straight then out of the gym for 3 days seems fine., then I’ll try to do that.
You think I should do an upper/lower split for four days or do a PPL where I rotate each between whether I do push or pull twice?
Just to add, 10-20 working sets per muscle group is optimal. It’s better to do each body part twice a week than once, but what’s more important than anything is that you’re on a program you can stick with. If you can hit 10 sets per muscle group in 3 days then that’s better than nothing and doable.

kttmzI understand the argument for not mixing cardio and gym work, but you do your 2 cardio days or runs in the weekend. That means 2 runs in 2 days? You could manage that with more rest in between is what I mean and adjust that to your gym schedule.
For example I have something like:
Mo/tue/we/fri gym
Thu/su runYeah I feel you but I’m used to running 5-6 days a week to begin with. Two 3-5 mile runs are really nbd to me.

Oh the distance explains a lot, fair game then. I thought you went further because you mentioned the half marathon.

Im probably too much in a tunnel vision from my own running, your routine should be great
Nov 19, 2024Sir RealAny good hybrid programs yall would recommend? Recently ran my first half marathon (in 1:45, 8 min miles), so I hadn’t been lifting during the ten week training period.
Want to get back in the gym, but still be able to run twice a week on the weekends as I’ve really come to enjoy it and want to maintain somewhat during the winter so I have a strong base going into the spring/summer to try and improve on my previous half marathon. But I’d still like to improve my strength. I enjoy lifting a lot but never really pushed myself all that much. Currently bench 145 and one of my goals would be to be able to bench my body weight (175) in the next 3-4 months, which I think is doable. Just want to figure out how to still make the weightlifting effective/worthwhile. Pulling off four days lifting a week may be difficult with my schedule (but I’m not ruling it out and can make it work if need be), but three days would be preferable. But ik people say you gotta hit each body part twice a week ideally, so I guess a) do I need to do four days? And b) if not, what should I be doing to ensure I get the most out of 3 days? PPL or a simple upper/lower split?
Open to whatever suggestions and thoughts, not at all dead set on lifting 3, running 2. Just thinking out loud
do 3 runs and spread them throughout the week. 40 to 45 mins for weekdays and a longer one for whatever time/distance you prefer. thats what im planning to do moving forward because i feel like 2 days of rest is kinda too much and 40 min runs arent that body intensive anyways. my boy advises against exclusively weekend running as its not really as beneficial as running consistently during the week. ill see if i can pull monday being my only no exercise day

@PhilipMorris and you dont need 4 days of lifting as 3 days is good enough already. my answers are all over the place sorry about that lol

That’s not a bad idea tbh, I do oatmeal/peanut butter/protein powder during bulk but I use water, you vegan so healthy milk choices are plenty
