Thanks for another great post!! What advice would you have to those who are already good runners? Before the 12 week program I was running 100-150km every month at around 4:30 per km, now I lowered my mileage to around 50km every month
My goal is to keep running 100km every month while lifting as well. Buy I'm not sure if that's a reasonable goal. I love running and I started the program because I never lifted and wanted to get some gains that hopefully will improve my running even more.
It’s all about hours available per week. You simply have to take your disposable hours, and allocate enough time to running to get you to 25K per week (not a lot tbh), while still having time for the density program.
IMO, it’s very doable, 25K a week is considered pretty low mileage, you can get that in ~3 runs a week while lifting on the other days.
Since we're here, may I also ask if you have any recommendations for an advanced running training program? I don't have a specific goal. Just want to run faster and longer
Awesome read thank you for sharing! I've been out of the running game for a while. Went to the track last week and was shocked how rusty I've become. Now I want that ability back. I know in time I'll become more fluid again. Cheers!

Well what do you need or what are looking to achieve as a goal? General advice is hard here, depending if you want to keep lifting or not.

Great, got it thanks. I was also thinking about 25k per week but I was a bit worried it might be too much to follow along the program.

Isn’t swimming the best cardio?
There isn’t a such thing as best cardio
Thank both. Would you advise against barefoot shoes (vibrams) if running on grass? I'm sure using them for treadmill running is not ideal.
Restated much simpler: If I'm not obese, can I use barefoot shoes instead?
On grass is fine
On days where run is programmed, like day 9, is there a pace goal or heart rate goal for the run phase?
