Hey Slowtwitch!
As I'm building up my mileage while running I do try to keep heavy strength training in the routine at least once, but most times twice a week. Im mostly doing submax lifts, primarily compound exercises, around 4 sets of 4-8reps. No big deal as I've been doing it for quite some time now. Also no heavy fatigue after training or the day after.
Right now i'm doing my long run (15-20km's) the day after strength training and I constantly get a high heart rate while running zone 1-2. Normally I run around 5 min/km with HR around 140-145, after strength training I tend to slow down to 5.20min/km with a HR around 155, which is upper zone 2.
Do more people experience this and what is your take on this? No big deal and just keep the pace, or maybe not ideal to do a long run the day after? Found this interesting because I don't feel fatigued at all during the run.
