Hi im new to running, im prity skinny with a bit of a belly. Im worried that if i just do running im going to end up far too scrawny. So i was looking at doing some resistance training as well. I was just wondering how much, if any resistance training you lot do? and how you fit this in with your runs? Any advice would be much appreciated
Comments
I have just started running more I've done a 5k before and I'm doing a 10k in a few weeks.
I think if you eat enough healthy foods to compensate all the calories you have burned off you should be fine.
I've found that since doing more resistance work with my military fitness training etc iv'e lost a little bit of weight but I'm a lot fitter and stronger. I wont lie though I eat quite a lot but it helps recovery and getting yourself the energy you need
Hi - yes, def do some form of resistance or weight or circuit training. I think what you do is up to you but I don't doubt that it will help your running / fitness no end.
I do core work and free weights a couple of times a week. I also swim and cycle. I started running just under three years ago as I had time in the middle of the dat to kill.
