Alright, here's the deal... My coach has me on this periodized weight program. Basically like any good program, a balance of core, sport specific exercises at varying resistances and repititions depending on the cycle and some great leg work.
Anyway, I was out running last night and I finally felt like I had a lot of pop in my stride. I'm still in base training, so I had one eye on the HR so that I didn't get too carried away... but I really felt like I was floating. Here's the odd part, I went hard at the weight room the night before
Maybe it's the weather getting nicer, maybe I'm just breaking through a plateau... Maybe it's the new pair of ASICS ;-) But I thought I read somewhere that weights will only help running in the form of injury prevention... Measureable effects will only be seen in cycling. Thoughts?
