For anybody on H&F that combines some running into their routine, where do you fit it into your weekly routine?

I would really like to do some low-moderate cardio, 3 miles at most, maybe twice a week.

When should a person fit that into their schedule? I'm thinking the day before training legs would probably work best?

Currently doing a Push/Pull/Legs routine. Just trying to make sure my legs have enough time to recover from training legs.

Thanks.

Just do it one day before you lift your favorite muscle. Get it out of the way and move into pumping your chest. 3 miles isn’t much so struggle bus that treadmill for 25mins

Put the jogging in the days where you do your upper body ! yeah 3 miles twice a week is more than enough , otherwise you will loose weight if u do more !
In the leg day you can do the follwoing exercises which boost Stamina , Overall strenght , build legs and core !
I will list you the training for Advanced+ !

1. Start with a very very good warm up ( 30-40 minutes warm up is must)
2. 7x sets 100 meters Sprints
3 . 6x sets with 20 reps. per set Jumping squats
4. 6x sets with 24 reps. per set Jumping Lunges ( 24 is 12 reps. per Leg)

You are done with leg day!

I find 10-15 mins on the bike with decent resistance burns and pumps the legs pre or post training

That's a good idea. I've done that in the past, it is a hell of a workout. Could probably lead to some good calf muscle development overtime too.

You can run / jog every day and still strength train legs. If you're only running twice a week and you hit the legs hard why not run two days before and after your big leg strength day?

7 minutes on the bike warm up to get heart rate 145+

15 minutes cardio mon/tues/wed/thurs max incline speed 3

Thanks I've been loving the incline cardio. It feels great, pretty much the only time I'm using a treadmill right now is with similar settings.

Eating more/more protein will help you recover faster to run

LISS incline cardio is nice. It’s easy on your joints like a bike but with the added benefit of getting a sick pump/stretch in the calves.
