I've been a serious weightlifter for as long as I can remember and have incorporated running into my routine for the past two years now. The positive mental and physical changes (e.g., fat loss) I've experienced is why I've grown to love running. I actually only weight lift twice a week now. If you want to build or increase your mental toughness...challenge yourself and go for a run!
@@jessicaelliott4328 yes running is great for depression and anxiety. Weight lifting makes me feel good too but not nearly as good as I do after running.
This is so incredibly exciting, you’ve really shaped my training in terms of focusing on form and prioritizing my lifts but lately I’ve incorporated long runs to satisfy my love of cardio while trying to maintain my muscle and seeing you so this is EVERYTHING 😍
I used to always get trap pain while/after runs. It was due to my posture (leaning too far forward/hunching my back) and how I was moving my arms/tense shoulders. Try relaxing your shoulders, keep your back upright/slight lean forward, elbows at 90 degrees and moving them straight forward and back (Don’t cross your arms across your body).
Love it! I currently am training for the Army 10miler this year and your post lift workout after running is very similar to my own workouts for the ACFT. Just a tip for running. Sis, run in the AM, I almost had a heart attack when you said you just got back to running and been running in the afternoon! That can be very dangerous for new runners. Even pro athletes like you can heatstroke. Also, look at heart zone training for running. It feels slow at first but really is effective.
That deficit kb stiff leg deadlift is BRUTAL! 💪 💪 I used to get that trap pain running and I believe it was from my bra strap. Got better running bras that distributed weight better and it went away.
Ive actually been incorporating running into my routine. Ive finally been consistent with it because it was recommended by doctors and friends to help with my adult onset asthma. And it definitely has, even if Im not that fast! Watching this series is helping to motivate me!
Deficit KB stiff leg deadlifts have been 🔥 really loving the program Meg!! I am hitting PRs I never hit pre-pregnancy! I’m 10m pp but I feel better than ever! 💪🏻❤️
Deficit KB stiff leg deadlifts are one of my favorites! It's awesome that you're doing this. I find it very helpful with motivation to have a set goal to push towards!
Deficit KB Stiff Leg DLs are one of my favorites, but can't say as much for running. You just might motivate me to get out there and do some, though! Great work, Meg! 💪🙌
I'm so excited for this. Now that I finally have a move date I am going to start working out at home to work on the navy one like i mentioned from last comment
for sure, it's a complex equation. As a guy that just can't give up my muscle, the way I think is this. Lower volume to 1/3 of weights (research supports this) and then have a conditioning "phase" for 8 weeks. The aerobic system develops muuuch faster than anaerobic / muscular. I did thus this summer successfully but instead of running was learning volleyball and big hikes.
Deficit KB Stiff Leg Deadlift - I hadn't done these before this block of SBTD, but can definitely feel them when they've been programmed! Thanks for sharing your training split with us!
We love transparency 👏🏼 I feel your struggle with the clothing. Never in a million years would I be able to wear shorts for a run and I can only wear them on bench days so they don’t ride up too much 😂 Deficit kb stiff leg DL are no joke though!!
I don't run anymore due to a foot injury, but I have been riding my bike some more than I had been. I burned out badly on cycling after I left the training grind of racing locally. This is fun!
I get pain in my right trap sometimes. It mostly happens when I am running faster than usual. If I slow down a bit it goes away and then I can pick up the pace again. It could be due to a little dehydration or something similar to the side stitch. If you get one of those you can just stretch your arms high above your head while continuing the run and it goes away.
I’m a year postpartum and I absolutely hate running. But since I have to do it and I’ve been trying to figure out how to sustainably incorporate it into my week, this has given me a lot more motivation ❤️
No running for me, I’ll just do some extra squats 😂 In all seriousness I prefer conditioning that combines strength and conditioning, kind of like some CrossFit workouts. You’re gonna nail this test! 💪🏻
@@isapigen haha! that probably would have helped. But seriously, carrying a baby around (and nursing) is not ergonomic! I don't have shoulder issues now that she's older and more independent.
Deficit KB Still Leg DL This gives me the urge to get back into running, even though I know I stopped because the cartilage in my right knee is not in great shape for running...I kinda miss it. 🥺
I also heard to imagine pinching a potato chip between your fingers but lightly as if you would break it. Will help keep the shoulders neck and traps relaxed.
Shoulder/ trap pain while running is due to shrugging the shoulder(s) too much during the run. Shake out your arms very couple of minutes. You also want to work on a more efficient arm swing. You keep you arms to far forwards and slightly too high. Watch some videos about armswing and running, im sure it will help you a lot.
I haven't started running yet but have been walking and I have softball starting up and I plan to continue SBTD during so. I love PVC pipe around the worlds!
I never do cardio… I really hate ruining it hurts my shins. I have a rower. I run SBTD and I’m going to start rowing when the cardio function is added.
Hey girl, check out the GOODR sunglasses. They're made for runners, they don't slip and they're polarized. I bought a pair in colorado for like.. $25. They're amazing. Also, The Running Experience has a 7 minute warm up video that has shaved off 2 minutes of my run time. I have been running so much better. Hope this helps!
Any cardio including running are prefect for burning calories and to challenge the most important muscle in your body, your heart. Must admit that i cant eat anything before a trainingsession because i should puke if i tried that. I prefer to do any training on an empty stomach.
I’m still trying to find a good balance. I love running and weight training but if I do lower body on the same day that I run, my legs are like huge boulders lol. Maybe I should try running beforehand. But I thought you weren’t supposed to do cardio before strength? Idk 😂 I’ll have to keep experimenting I guess.
Lower body days definitely make the balance a little trickier. Maybe try a morning run with a pm strength session on lower body days. I know that can also be hard to manage with life as well though.
You just inspired me to go on a run during lunch... And get me thinking on how to split my training starting next week. Thank you, Meg! I have a question... Does an hour of "fitboxing" accomplish the same thing as a long distance run?
Love your videos, but is it actually good to combine cardio and weights in one day? Your energy levels must be depleted after the run and less is left for the weights.
It's definitely a balance, but keep in mind that my run was at 8:30 am, and my strength session was at 3 pm. And for the test which is what I'm training for, all the events are essentially back to back with a small rest in between.
I am in my 40's now and will freely admit that I am not a runner at all, but my wife loves it, swears by it even.

Those type of running injuries are usually caused by inexperienced runners increasing their pace or mileage too quickly, before the body has had time to adapt. Plenty of runners run 70-100+ miles per week without issue but it takes a very long time to build up to that sort of training volume. When starting out it's useful to join a local running club where one can receive proper coaching and learn from experienced runners. However, there is no better form of cardio in my opinion and the euphoria experienced during running is unlike anything else!
@@KingOfHearts901 I am never one to attempt to dissuade anyone from what makes them happy on thier fitness journey, so don't take my criticism of running to heart, but for me, give me a bike (recently got a Peloton for rainy day and the winter) and let me go.

One shouldn't replace the other. Do both and benefit more 👌🏾
would you say running can help with depression??
@@jessicaelliott4328 yes. this is also been proven many times
@@meladversity that's one way to answer someone's question. Being a smartass never helped anyone.

Girl you are so brave drinking coffee before any run❤️! One time it kicked in right when im making good time/pace😅☕️💩
Currently doing this as well, running and weight training.
The form on that swimming pool somersault was flawless lol. I love this channel.
Did you see it?! 🤣

Nothing like a morning run! Especially the ones when you’re up before everyone else 😎

Just started watching you from Auckland New Zealand 🇳🇿! Thank you for the motivation.
Those deficit KB stiff leg deadlifts look really good and were never something I tried before SBTD.
Looking strong with those deficit KB stiff leg DLs. Not to mention running in this Texas heat is no joke.
Deficit KB Stiff Leg DL - slowly have become one of my fav lower body movements!
So exciting Meg! I started running too - it's so great I LOVE IT.
This has been a conflict within myself for the last 12 years. I was never able to combine both efficiently enough to produce proper recovery.
