Hey. I'm wondering if lifting before you run, specifically do a hard interval workout, will help speed your improvement and make you that much stronger in the end? I know that is would make your workout pace slower and harder to hit, but yeah, really curious. Also I heard it can help boost testosterone somewhere too? Discuss.
I haven't heard a ton about this, but my coach has said that lifting before a run leads to increased vascular capacities or something like that...pretty sure it was something to do with an increase in the amount of blood being pumped. Not sure where he got that though.
I have mixed thoughts about this one.
I have lately been getting extremely close to my all time record in the 35 yard dash of 3.78..
Just ran 3.82 the other day after lifting and 6 months ahead of schedule. Don't peak till october or november.
It has to be done within 45mins of just getting done at the gym though of heavy powerlilfting.

to give you an idea of some of the things i've been doing at the gym to get faster.
Natural though no steroids ever.
My thought is that low rep, low total volume heavy or powerful lower body lifts would prime your CNS for an interval workout without taxing the muscles you need for an interval workout too much. The same way drills, short sprints, strides etc. would or the same way a heavy lift before jumping or powerlifting helps increase power.
Define "long run".
