Track and Field

[jhawkin1]

I will be coaching track and field this year at the Junior High that I work at. I am taking over the long-distance running (3 miles for the kids- 4x a week). This will put much of my lean muscle mass at stake when I am running with the kids (for supervision and guidance purposes). Any suggestions on how to at least hold onto/maintain as much muscle mass as possible? Should I up my calories to respond to increased cardiovascular activity?

2 weeks until season starts, in the mean time, I will put on as much muscle mass as possible!

Increase your cals for sure!

You might ask P-Funk for help on how best to train with all this cardio. My guess would be to focus on the heavy compounds, fairly low-rep work and of course lots of food!

I think my goal at that point will be to maintain...will def. be easy to cut, but way more likely to lose a lot more lean muscle tissue, as opposed to watching diet, and lifting heavy weights.

I will ask P-funk for his insight on the matter.

I know I do need to up the total calories, but I am worried about pre and post meal for the running portion. Would it be fair to have an apple with some whey post 3-mile run to replenish glycogen?
