[quote=Anonymous]Def fit the strength training into your schedule.   Even if you take a break from running, you’ll
gain strength in ways you never would have with just running.  I used to run all the time - ran a marathon, a few shorter runs … was always “out there”.  But my knees started to hurt so I slowed down and then had a stint where I had access to a weight room and strength training app - and I got hooked.  I took a good year long break from running and returned when I had more time.  And…my knee issues had disappeared and are still gone, three years later.   I think I have gained strength and flexibility around my knees in a way running wasn’t doing - Strength training will make you stronger in ways running cannot. You undoubtedly will loose some cardio power. But it is super easy to find weight workouts that elevate your heart rate.  Personally I am a huge fan of Caroline girvan workouts on YouTube or app.  You’ll find the lower body workouts harder than ever.  I thought having been a lifelong runner it would be easy peasy.  Def not.  So glad I incorporated strength training and now with runs sprinkled in when convenient.  [/quote]
