This is so timely for me this week. I had just come to the same conclusion. My weight training is going so well BUT my running training is suffering as I don’t have enough recovery time from my weight sessions. So I am thinking I am going back to once a week and a swim rather than two sessions a week. I have been wondering the last couple of weeks if I am overdoing it at 2-3 Stregnth sessions and running and walking over 30km a week. So this week I am taking down the intensity a bit. Thanks for the share. Rfc x

Yeah.... I’m looking at moving what I do around a little too. I think I’m going to go to upper body weight after one run and lower body strengthening after another... that gives me two clear days for some active recovery walking.

Interesting read, if a little above my fitness level right now

I really need to get back in here, but i just can’t get my act together enough to commit to it. I keep letting myself get sidetracked.

Hope you work it out soon... start short and easy.

To be honest the summer is quite a hard time for me, emotionally speaking. So I’m thinking of letting it slide until the end of August.

At which point my calendar also gets more predictable.

Sounds good and it’s easier then it’s a little cooler.

Very interesting. Need to consider this as I get back to running as I've been pushing it pretty hard too and perhaps I'm just not ready for that yet.

There’s a fine balance I think... I want to go slap my old running coach about, I hated intense gym days 🤣
