conservative lifters might warn against taking only one day off during the week, especially because of the fact that the running workload is ever-increasing. bear in mind however, that the weights involved, regardless of my capacity and limits, aren’t that much in comparison the running work. squatting 205 isn’t going to ruin my knees, even after a long-run sunday. the point is i’m lifting to maintain my muscle memory.
after the great aloha run, the shift will change quickly towards the end of february. i’ll be starting the 5/3/1 program again, something i’ve used extensively before. i’m hungering to get back to lifting heavy, but first things first – raceday!
