My weight training involves alot of Power cleans and the likes at these times. My question is. Do some of you do a hard core running progam and still advance in your heavy squating and Dead lifts and if so what does your split look like? I have been thinking of trying doing just one leg day a week and doing it more like a bodybuilding leg day at the end of the week. But I perfer doing whole body weight training sessions 3 times a week squating on Mon. and Fri. and deads on Wed. but it really seems to hurts my running program. any thoughts on this would be appriciated.

Great post. I am still trying to figure this out myself. If I run and then try to squat the next day I have a terrible time. The bar always feels so much heavier when
I start running a lot.
You can have strength, and you can have endurance. I have not figured out a way to have both.
