You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: frets Subject: RE: 50+ Masters Training and Racing Open Forum Body:
I didn't start running till about 40...I did little in the way of strength training for the first five years/10,000 miles. Then I got the piriformis issues and a physical therapist who evaluated me on two separate occasions said the only strength issue he could find was that I had no gluteal strength at all. So I started adding much more strength training as a way of not getting re-injured. I run two marathons a year and usually seven days a week so the gym work lets me get it out of the way with one session. When I train at my hardest, I have a speed session Tuesday evenings so I move that strength session to Tuesday morning. The runs after the gym work are typically EZ pace 6 or 7 miles. I don't lift real heavy weights...just enough to keep all the joints healthy. Like, I never did calf work because I have large calves and they never spasmed or anything and then I overdid once and my achilles swelled to the size of a sausage, so then I added eccentric calf drops.
