Pretty simple one, really - I am in week 4 of 9 for C25K but have been doing weights a couple days a week. Before I’d just been walking every day so it wasn’t a big deal, but if I am working on running, should I NOT do leg exercises on weight days? It’s not real dedicated weight training either, just a circuit of 12-15 stations 3x each with 3-4 of those being leg / hip exercises.
This looks like a question from 2025 . How did it go? What did you learn? What advice would you give to someone in your similar situation in 2025?
Given the situation (C25K = novice athlete?), either no weights on run days if the run frequency is lower then 5 times a week, either do the weights AFTER the run and call it a day when the legs feel to heavy.
But as a beginner, LISTEN to your body. You will not get better if the load is too high too often. Make sure to leave plenty of time for recovery and slowly (very slowly) increase the total weekly load.
