Interested in the thoughts, experiences, successes of those who have trained for either half marathon or marathon while maintaining a weight training routine.
I want to check off a Bucket List item next year and try for a marathon but I'm not looking forward to sacrificing the muscle I've gained over the past 10 years. My genetics and body type have been very unforgiving in terms of muscle gains.
I understand that in reality some muscle will be lost, but I'm interested to hear of others who have done both and how much size and strength you lost while training for the run?
