Bobo: Do you think doing this program has improved or decreased your running speed? I saw what you wrote about being slower when actually lifting, but do you think you would be faster if tapered?
I've just completed week one. So far it is not particularly challenging. I'm not too sure about starting with the low weight (45#), but I do know that I know very little about weight lifting, so I'm going with it. I'm hoping building strength will pay off with speed gains running and cycling in the future.
I did make the mistake of going from my second weight set directly to a track workout on Tuesday. That left me with some wicked bursitis in my right hip on Wednesday.
