What do I do at the gym tonight. I have the rare chance to make it two nights in a row. I am very early in the process of trying to get into running. (week 2 of couch to 5 k) I did week 2 day 2 last night then bench and incline before I got stupid sleepy and went home.
Tonight is legs night. Should I also run? I thought one was to take a day off between runs. My worry is doing too much legs workout and having no legs to run tomorrow.

You can do both, but you might have dead legs tomorrow.

If you do both, rest Friday.
I say do lunges with dumbells, squats (ATG) and then a really light jog to shake it out.

What did you eat for lunge?

That could be what is causing discomfort when doing lunches.

Did the Couch to 5k last year and P90x

Week 2 of Couch to 5K is still light jogging - something like jog 90 seconds, then walk 2 minutes, repeat for 20 minutes. You should have plenty of leg strength. When you get into week 4, you may want to plan better. You will be jogging 1/4 and 1/2 intervals.

I've started the program before.

I got derailed around this same point because I was bad sore after two days in a row. I will also have to change the pace up by week 4. It was all I could do to make all 6 jogging sessions last night at 9:40/mile.

My only advice
Mar 25, 2015, 4:17 PM
|

Don't worry about your speed. It's not called "Couch to 5K at 7 Minutes Per mile". If you need to slow to a 10-11 minute mile, then do it. After you complete the program, then you can do it again faster.
I used an app called RunDouble that has different programs like "Couch to 5K", "5K to 10K", and "Half Marathon Event training". It has a 5k Improver program that helps you increase your pace. It tracks everything and includes an audio player that allows you to listen to your music and provides updates on your progress.

I have found there is a delicate balance from speed to

stride on the treadmill. I do like how the treadmill makes me hold a speed better than running in the real world will.

try doing high intensity interval training...

especially if there are any classes like that at your gym. You'll really get your metabolism and cardio level up.

Planet Fitness, no classes that I know of.

Those gyms with classes cost too much to go long periods without going. This is a very rare week in that I have 3 nights in a row off.

Optimal workout schedule for me is
Mar 25, 2015, 4:31 PM
|
|
basketball/football on sundays
primary leg workout on monday
chest on tuesdays then sometimes basketball
back/shoulders on wednesdays then sometimes basketball
secondary leg workout on thursdays
biceps/triceps on fridays
basketball on saturdays
that's optimal, rarely get it done like that
it might suck to do legs/cardio so close together if you're just getting back into it, but normally I wouldn't think it'd be a huge deal
