You could do some LSD distance work after your Squat and Deadlift days. This could help with the soreness and be active recovery.

You could also add some Interval ruuning or sprints on DAY 2 and have DAY 4 as a rest day.

Another option is to finish your strength workout with a finisher (complexes,tabata intervals,Burpees etc). This is a good way to get some conditioning in.

would you be able to write out exactly what kind of intervals

**Standard** · 02-19-2007, 11:45 AM

there are lots of things you could try, for intervals try sprinting 20s then jogging 40s for 10 mins, that would be a good start into it, as you progress increase the sprinting time and take away from your recovery jog.

yeah I've been doing standard's stuff for a few weeks and it's working marverlously

I'd do HIIT/GPP on Thursday & Sunday, LSD on Tuesday (deadlift recovery jog/cycling). If you're up to it you could throw in some sandbag/barbell complexes, bag work, GPP drills etc. at the end of each lifting session.
