    Training for the London marathon 2006

    Basically i am participating in a 10k charity run on the 5th June this year and haven't done any training yet. How can I limit the amount of muscle lost? Also I was thinking about running in the London marathon in 2006 is it possible to train for this in addition to my 3 day split without loosing much muscle and strength?

    That's tough to say, I've never been one to go for really high endurance exercises. Are you thinking of training cardio/endurance on days when you don't lift, or just purely training for endurance for a while? I'm assuming you'll want to do both at the same time, because that seems like the only way you wouldn't lose strength. In that case, I'd just say to eat a lot of clean food.

    I would say for the most part it's almost impossible to limit muscle catabolism while doing long distance running. all of that running jacks up your baseline cortisol levels.
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    damn The run in June is 10k for a children's charity, although i would like to run the marathon next year i am not prepared to loose a huge amount of strength. How should I alter my training in light of the 10k run in June in addition to my 3 day split back/bi tri/chest shoulders/legs Thanks
