How many of you both run and strength train in a given week?

I’m currently doing strength training 3x a week, running 4x a week. Mondays are the only days where I have both scheduled. I’m curious for those of you that do both, what kind of strength training do you do, and do you run first or lift first?

    Oh wow you don’t feel fatigued during your runs after lifting? Even my easy run feels a bit tougher when I lift beforehand.

    Any reasoning behind always lifting first?

      I do feel a little fatigued but after awhile your body adapts and it doesn’t feel so bad. The reasoning I’ve read is that if you go from running to strength training your muscles will be much weaker compared to going from strength training to running. If you have the time or willpower, separating them by a few hours will help negate this
