I combine strength conditioning w/ my marathon training. At least 1 day a week I hit the gym. It feels good physically and psychologically to be strong on the road when putting in the miles. And I understand it prevents injury.
Today I am still tight and a little stiff after the 20 mile run last Saturday. I was not winded on Saturday as much as my joints and muscles started to fail me as mile 20 approached. Fighting through this fatigue will be a challenge.
8/25/10 Ran the staple Montclair loop around the Cedar Knolls Reservior and back up Highland Ave.
9/1/10 Did the same run as described above. I tried a new pair of nike running shoes which I found to be lighter but w/o as much cushion as the asics I have been using. I may use the nikes for short hill climbing runs but I could feel the pounding on my feet. The asics are excellent.
