Running? Surely you jest.

No, I don't jest.

I'm going to start running.

I was inspired by the book "Born to Run" by Christopher Mcdougall.


Cons to running:
-interfere with recovery from lifting


Pros to running:
-sleep better
-bigger appetite
-might drop some fat


Maybe I'll face challenges training creatine/phosphate pathways while simultaneously training fat oxidation pathways. But f*ck it. Maybe I won't.

Whatever David Goggins is doing seems to be working out ok.

There's a part in "Born to Run" where Caballo Blanco says "I saw a 90 year old man run 30 miles up and down a mountain. You know why he could do that? Because nobody told him he couldn't."

Maybe I can't traing my 500lb deadlift while also training to run. But maybe I can. Only one way to find out.

***************************************

I've only had 1 or 2 lifting workouts since I've been incorporating running. So far it's resulted in some pretty incredible soreness. But that's probably to be expected with taking up any new activity.

I look forward to the challenges ahead.
