Would it be better for me to do a MAPS-type training program while training for the Boston Marathon in April, considering I’m currently running four days a week and trying to get two hour-long full-body lifting sessions in to maintain muscle during this marathon training?
If I want to start running, how should my training look like? I'm still trying to gain and keep strength and muscle, and I haven't run in a while, but I should have enough time to train (it's now September).
There is a 21km run in March that I plan to attend, so my question is: What should my training look like? I usually do at least 2 full-body workouts a week, with a lighter upper body session on Wednesday (for socializing purposes) and a light full-body session on Thursday (50% workout, 50% socializing). If I get the week to myself, it will be 3 full-body sessions a week.
