Should you strength train and run on the same day?? The answer really depends on how many days/week you’re running and strength training. AND on how many rest days/week you do best with. Runners typically need at least 1 day without running / strength, but some runners feel better when they have 2 rest days. Take a runner who runs 5 days/week and strength trains twice. They could follow a schedule like this: Monday: Strength and run Tuesday: Run Wednesday: Strength and Run Thursday: Rest Friday:
