I used to get in 15-20 miles a week running (3-4x 4-5 miles) - I know that's not serous distance, but it was enough for me to enjoy it and maintain it.
But, I picked up stronglifts 5x5 for the new year - and am loving it (squatting 75% my bodyweight - woohoo!!) - but just not finding a way to keep running in. Wanting to rest between squat days means skipping my runs. The only day I can do is during the once a week 2 day rest.
I'm toying with the idea of taking next week off and just running. And, if when I get back to stronglifts I can pick up where I left off OK, then maybe doing that every 3rd or 4th week.
Is that reasonable and still productive? and/or is there a better way? In the end, I just miss running, dammit.
