What's a good weekly training schedule for running a half marathon while maintaining strength?
Is there a way to incorporate training for a half marathon (probably 2 short runs and 1 long run weekly) while also completing one of your programs that would complement this training? I am afraid that once I transition to running regularly, I will lose the progress I’ve made with strength training.
I'm following a schedule for my marathon training that includes strength training twice a week and running or swimming three days a week. Is this a good approach?
